It's done! Holy Tramiel it's done!!
The whole thing is now running on SEQ files, it works like a (lightspeed) charm with sd2iec devices and there is no longer a 6-lines-per-message limit (there is, of coures, a message buffer limit of 4KB).
I got it working here and I just spent two hours posting messages, listing them (*tadaa* new feature!) and doing all sorts of optimization. The server binary is now an impressive 157 blocks. But I hope I can free a few byte in the upcoming cleanup of the code.
If you know how to build this thing and write it to a d64 image or real diskette, feel free to pull the
latest sources - they're on sourceforge.net now, due to recent changes in GitHub ownership (heh).
The setup program needs some more tweaking and I need to test the new "board drive" option which allows you to store you message bases on another disk drive / sd2iec device.
But to show you what the new thing looks like on the connecting end, I have this log for you:
Code:
Escape character is '^]'.

This is a very long message. It's a
test message for testing messaging and
message handling. Got the message?!
So here we are, running the new ver-
sion of Contiki BBS and testing
all the neat features and hoping
that the whole thing doesn't blow
up in our face.
Anyway, if you feel like dancing,
I recommend to play a few sids or
maybe even mods (got an Amiga?)
Right, this seems to be long enough
a message for me.
Peace!
