    For Squish, I recommend TwitFilter. Easy to set up and use. DOS and OS/2 versions. It's open source so someone could port it to Win32, maybe?

    Next time you call my board, go into the Maximus file area and look for TFILT020.ARJ.

    I saw you looking for that today in my logs. I have a program that censors bad words out, dunno if it could work for that purpose? I think it just renames words.

    Search for CENSOR next time you are on. It SHOULD pop up. If not, I know it's on one of my cds .... actually did you check there for a twit filter? I doubt it would've been called that back then tho.

    DOS is just fine, I'm using that for now as I'm working on getting Dr. DOS running as I registered it 30 years or more ago and never ran it. LOL

    for TFILT020.ARJ.

    Got it thanks. One of the projects for today is switching to squish from fastecho and configuring this. Also working on back porting a tagline
    program I wrote for windows to dos. Gives me a chance to try to get
    the ole' brain back in gear.

    Take a look at FreeDOS. It's got its own stack and packet drivers.

    No need to switch to squish, the twit filter you recommended runs
    after the mail has been tossed. Mainly don't want to see Lee's nonsense

    I am not sure if it is him doing it, or if systems between me and him

    He seems to be the only person on the networks with the last name of
    Felten, so '*Felten' is what I use here with synchronet.

    The nice thing about standards is there's so many to choose from.

    I use it with Cheepware. I have for years. I used to use RAR but the
    author has screwd it up so much it's not backwards-compatible anymore.

    My BBS sits on a 4TB drive; no space issues. Just my personal preference.

    On at least two occassions, I have had one of them send me messages with
    one ego in the FROM field but the message being very obviously written by
    the other. One was in netmail, the other was in a public FIDO echo where others also caught onto the slip up.

    Sometime after that, "Lee" started posting from a different Z2 system,
    probably as some "proof" they are not the same person but I also suspect it makes it easier to keep the personas straight.
