Why is that?  Other then the control character at the start of the MSGID it is
already text.  No?  Also most terminal apps, or at least the good ones, treat
everything as a character or string so scripted solutions would be far more
doable.  As is the raw pkt headers can be stripped out and sent to the
bitbucket without losing any important information thus speeding up processing
of messages within the pkt.  If a unique delimiter was used to seperate
messages in the first place it would also make things faster and easier all the
way around.  As is the null character is vastly overused and slows down
processing considerably.

Yes.

Currently don't have a BBS since there isn't one.  Was seriously thinking of a
CGI script on the wireless network for local community (within range) here but
other then one neighbour nobody is interested and this current setup works for
now, albiet overkill.  Maybe, we'll see.

 RC> Yes but since you arent the swami, I am not worried.

Nothing to worry about even if I was.  I don't use sheeple to gang up on people
like some Fido twerps do.  I fight my own battles when I see them and looks to
me like you're cruising since you and your sheeple didn't start posting here
until after Wayne did.  Am I missing anything?

 RC> You are just a bitter old man.

Sometimes.  Right now you and your sheeple are causing my current bitterness. 
I would gladly trade one Wayne post for a thousand of your previous posts here.

There is quite a bit to marvel over.  I am still distracted with mencoder and
all it's options.  Getting there though.

Okay.  You should be happy then.

Life is good,
Maurice
