    There is no TZUTC flag, and the MSGID and PID "kludges" lack a starting ^A character...

    Wilfred,
    You are correct. I looked in the code, and I assume I removed the adding chr(1) to the kludges. Easy fix, but I am probably rewriting the way CyberbBS
    adds it kludges to the messages.

    I was trying to find out what the older packages do; mystic and sbbs. Do
    they add them at message composition or from the tosser. I assume its
    added some at composition and then some at toss (TID). The docs on
    all this subject are so old, its hard to determine that now because
    there are few people left that really know this, and fewer who want to
    help people understand.

    Thanks for continuing to help point this out! I appreciate it!

    Those are BBS packages. There are also the dedicated tossers still in development...

    Do they add them at message composition or from the tosser. I assume
    its added some at composition and then some at toss (TID).

    The MSGID and PID is added at composition. The TID is added by the scanner (tosser).

    The docs on all this subject are so old, its hard to determine that
    now because there are few people left that really know this,

    There are more then a few developers (including myself) left.

    As a Fido developer, I'm suggesting that you please do not waste your time or or talent in trying to implement any MSGID/REPLY/TID nonsense in your BBS.

    There is absolutely nothing technically wrong with leaving those three out, in that your message WILL in fact be delivered, and forwarded to MANY systems. I assure you, no "normal" Sysop cares at all about them nor will you receive
    any complaints. Instead, the only complaints about kludges you will receive will come from Euro trash pacifist effeminate keyboard-warriors with no life, no job, no spouse... and no penis.

    Their petulant asinine whinings have on more than one occasion driven away returning Sysops with their favourite legacy PC-Board, Searchlight, TBBS and others because of those silly missing kludges. The Sysop who just wants a bit of nostalgia is instead faced with weirdos in rainbow suspenders.

    I agree with you Nick. I have it mostly working correctly anyhow, although it took quite some time to figure out how (and a bit of questioning as to
    why is is even needed anymore). I just assumed everyone wanted and did follow the ftsc which was written 25+ years ago. I am just having it put
    MSGID, REPLY, TZUTC as those I can maybe, kind of see the use. Either way,
    its mostly working now, so just going to leave as is.

    Thanks for input.

    Such folks are actually very rare... but I've accurately described them as unfortunately thats who the nostalgic Sysop first encounters in this echo.

    You will never find them or their kludge-line nonsense in any of the Othernets like FSX, Micronet etc.

    Actually I would love to see more Sysops firing up the old stuff like
    PC-Board, Searchlight, Robo. Wildcrap. Amiga/Apple boards... TBBS/Flame with its all-uppercase fields and no kludge lines. RBBS... Ohh, the humanity.

    I loved the lightbar interface on Searchlight, my first taste of running
    a BBS was co-sysoping Just Say Yes, a modded searchlight board in San Francisco. Would love to get it running as a test node.

    Searchlight was ahead of its time. The Spinnaker add-on was ahead of its time.
