Does anyone know of an editor that'll work with Synchronet
(16 bit dos will do). I've had a user talking about it in jest but
wondered if there's something out there?

can it be configured for BBS users to use without allowing access to files they should not have access to?

Good question, and one that I do not know the answer to. Would have to restrict it to only being used for message drafting, or whatever.
Hopefully somebody knows more and will jump in here.

This is fucking dovenet. 99% of the time the subject line doesn't pertain

I have that guy blocked because we argue a lot. he's a wierdo and a dickhead.

He was posting here under other names to get out of that.
I was able to verify that via his ip address.

Afterwards, he used a vpn and he used it on both his sockpuppets which verified it further.

Yeah, MRO is an odd duck, only reason I don't block him again is for the entertainment value, He claims to help people, then he does nothing but try to chase new Sysops away.
But he is what he is (special).

I remember trying to ban ppl on irc back in the day when ipv6 was starting to be used.
