• Ver. 3.19b and WinXP?

    From Cozmo@VERT/LUN to All on Thu Dec 29 20:43:00 2022
    Will v3.19b run on WinXP? I keep getting this message: "The procedure entry point could not be lacated in the dynamic link library WS2_32.dll"
    My guess is no but I thought I would ask.

    Thanks

    You could just put a fixed up version with the installer for the new
    people.

    It takes literally *days* of work to put together an official release. I don't do that more than once or twice a year for a good reason.

    I know in this case it's trivial because nobody wants to run xp, but
    there have been more serious issues.
    I'm not clear what your point is. If the sysop wants to run a newer version that compatible with XP, he can.

    You're really throwing a roadblock by ignoring what you represent and
    putting so much into cvs and later git.

    Synchronet has official releases more often than any other BBS software... and it's not frequent enough for you?
    Synchronet has nightly development builds available for Windows and Linux-x86, and that's not enough for you?

    New people don't know how to update properly.

    "People" do it all the time.

    that's why synchronet has
    such a bad reputation and people can say only programmers can run it.

    Because I don't make releases often enough? I don't buy that.

    It's bad enough we lost most of our users, now we are losing new
    sysops. Please just try to put yourself in these people's shoes. Shit
    gets really convoluted with the way you guys do things. It could be
    worse, but it could also be better.

    Whatever dude.

    Sometimes you just have to learn as you go and not be handed everything at once. You learn alot more even though it make take some time. the Dev team goes way out of there way and above and beyound with what they do on there free time along with all the support that is given in the IRC Channel which has always been great. The only problem i have had and it's quite irrating is that when they switched from CVS to git it's hard for me to update things on my own. The date modifed on all the files in the zip packages are set to the date that it's released and ready to download each day. It really used to help me when i could tell what files were modified and when they were last modified. I do read the updates on the message boards but at times i fall behind to know whats been changed. i have not figured a good work around yet so i am just waiting until the dev team has the time to fully release a full update or until i learn a work around that works for my situation. this is on me not on the dev team but if they could help me figure out a better way or a work around it would make my life a lot eaiser.

    Thank you guys for your support as always

    Software has issues. And this particular issue has already been fixed and the version with that fix is available for download and future versions should not have that same issue, but they'll have other, new issues. It's a fact of life.

    Reminds me of my second wife. She was an amazing cook, great in bed, always kept the house clean, chopped wood like a champ, organized all the bills and my business dealings, but not once did I ever get a decent BJ.

    Bitch.

    It was fixed *after* the v3.19b release, so that'd be in v3.19c or
    v3.20a.

    Where can I d/l 3.19c or 3.20a Can't seem to locate the file.

    Thanks!

    You know I hear, that Wildcat! is looking for new members and/or SysOps. Maybe they could use you?
    I mean since you know all about the inner workings of Windows and SBBS - telling the author he doesn't know how
    to program the software that has been around for more than 30 years. Hmmm...geee I think he does know. I have set you
    to spam so anything directed to me gets that spam (man I could use some spam spam spam spam and eggs and spam - $5.10).
    About what you are worth to me. It's a hobby dude. NOTHING NOWHERE says you have to run this software. Hence me mentioning
    Wildcat! See what response you get there from the author.
    Dang I know I am going to get into trouble for opening my mouth.
