Exchanging data between systems. My main issue is the creation of gameãpackets with proper filenames. I am thinking of a system where it takes theãfirst couple characters of the filename for the game, then the other 6 for aãtime/date system and then an extention of the league number. So it would beãsomething like LG??????.316, the ? being the data/time characters.ãã---ããSincerely,ãJon JustvigãRaiders Inc BBSãWHQ Whisper-Echo-NetãLegion RPGãhttp://vintagebbsing.com:81ãtelnet://vintagebbsing.comã---ã þ Synchronet þ The Rusty MailBox - Penticton, BC Canada - trmb.synchro.netã

Game packets with filenames that include something like LG and 6ãcharacters with the time/date (anywhere from 000000 to ffffff). I haven't gotãmuch into it since I've been so busy lately. I apologize for the late reply,ãit's been a minute since I've been/read any Dove-Net messages. Life... gets inãthe way.ãã---ããSincerely,ãJon Justvig (1:298/25)ãHQ of Whisper-Echo-NetãHQ of Legion RPG for Windows/LinuxãLC for League 316ãhttp://vintagebbsing.com:81ãtelnet://vintagebbsing.comãssh://vintagebbsing.comãtrillian:cr1msonã---ã þ Synchronet þ Vertrauen þ Home of Synchronet þ [vert/cvs/bbs].synchro.netã
