  • Old confmail for Amiga

    From Steve Palm@39:902/505 to All on Tue Dec 18 09:54:42 2018
    This is a strange request, but... :)

    WAY back in the day, maybe 1988-1989 or so, I can't remember, I set up a FidoNet point system (1:154/8.11 I think) on my Amiga. I think it may have been one of the first, but maybe not. It was, amongst other things, eventually referred to as the Siberian Amiga if I recall, being in Sault Ste. Marie, MI.

    I remember having gotten ahold of the Confmail sources for Amiga back at that time and making mods to get it to work properly, using Lattice C.

    I have no equipment from my days back then, or disks or backups. I have since tried to find a copy of that old souce code, becuase I know I passed it on to someone to keep working on it.

    If anyone would have a copy, just for nostalgia, I'd like to get it.

    I'm writing this on an Amiga 1200 via WiModem232 and loving the feeling of reliving the experience.

    Thanks if anyone can help. :)

    I searched the net a bit, and could only find dos versions CONFMAIL.ZIP (3.3) and CONF_400.ZIP.

    There were some refereces to CONF_400.LZH, but those were just text files mentioning the file...


    Bye, Wilfred.

    Thanks for the note!

    I have searched *extensively* and I am about to give up. Those versions, v3 and
    v4, were for the PC, not for the Amiga. Sometimes you just can't go back in time. :)
