Hello, so I moved on to create an ANSI logon screen, and built it in THEDRAW saved it using BLOCK Mode and sent it over to my Linux remote host via FTP.ãCopied it to my sbbs/text/menu/logon.ans and it cant find it. If I use just a text logon.msg it works ok, and if I view the logon.ans from the /sbbs/data/dirs folder where it uploads to, it views just fine from within the BBS' system bulletins menu, where I added it to the list to check. Ive been trying to look this up and everything I find seems to say it should work. My only thought might be Im using the Renegade Command Shell, could that be preventing this, and if so is there anything I can do about it?ãThank you, ããEbojagerãã---ã þ Synchronet þ Sent from OUTLAND BBSã

Change your save options or maybe consider using PabloDraw instead which can open/edit/save Ctrl-A formatted (.msg, .asc) files directly.ã-- ã digital man (rob)ããRush quote #67:ãHe's noble enough to win the world, but weak enough to lose it ..
