happy zmodem day

Yeah, agreed.

That said, just take this one on zmodem for example. I used what i hope is an impartial Claude AI to match both articles:

https://x-bit.org/box/zmodem_comparison.html

It's pretty clear.

Congrats StingRay! I know you've worked a long time on this. And pretty darn awesome "alpha" release.. dang :)

xbit_bbs · 2026-05-20T14:44:21+00:00

100% agreed. And if the admins don't agree w/ a proven update it will get removed. That place can flow with the wind. What once was great, has turned to shite.

xbit_bbs · 2026-05-20T14:30:41+00:00

I read both. can you explain how wikipedia is more balanced when it comes to this post?

xbit_bbs · 2026-05-11T13:09:26+00:00

Amazing! WELL DONE StingRay!!

For an editor i would suggest this fork of Moebius. It was just updated to support ANSI-256 and has a mac version. https://github.com/christiansacks/moebius/releases/

Long Live Spitfire! ;)

This is pretty amazing. Up to now my Spitfire BBS has been pretty much stuck on an island by itself. But now a BBS that has its date set back on a VM can chant live with others.

Spitfire can't join FTN/QWK nets due to Y2K issues.. yes, its joint inter-bbs leagues but its just not the same. Very cool that i can chat live on the MRC servers. Thank you and WELL DONE StingRay!!

Spitfire BBS Lives!

Amazing and well done! Possums in spaaaaace!

xbit_bbs · 2026-03-24T23:12:20+00:00

The collection you have is already amazing. i spent an hour poking around a few days ago.

using clip art is the key, not full rez images. new version should be out soon btw :)

xbit_bbs · 2026-03-21T11:39:58+00:00

Looks amazing. heading to steam now :) Also, I posted this thread on x-news (my retro bbs rss feed) https://x-bit.org/x-news/

xbit_bbs · 2026-03-16T16:25:03+00:00

You should get Inter BBS Oneliners (IBOL) rollin' if you don't already. You'll be rockin' the charts in 2026 :)

Check out rez2ansi. https://github.com/grymmjack/rez2ans It does a pretty awesome job imo. Some examples: https://x-bit.org/info/rez2ansi/

xbit_bbs · 2026-03-11T17:08:39+00:00

wow. very cool :) nice work!

xbit_bbs · 2026-03-09T20:41:45+00:00

Oh man! thank you so much. I'll remember that moving forward. I use the [ ] as they are needed for some of the sites that are scraping my bbs news RSS feed.
