With FBB V7 the sysop must give you 'F' status on the BBS. One big
problem with BBSs changing to V7 from, say 5.15, is that many sysops
aren't exactly too well clued up on the technical implications of what
they are doing, and it is made worse by the lack of any documentation
regarding exactly how V7 behaves differently to previous versions. So
they stick V7 on their BBSs and then have no idea what to do when their
users suddenly start having problems.
Here's the WinPack FBB V7 FAQ:-
**********************************************************************
Problem: My local BBS has now changed over the FBB V7 and WinPack is
giving problems.
(The problems may be that compressed download and forwarding
cannot be used, or that the BBS disconnects you when you try
to upload mail after you have downloaded some messages, or
that WinPack sticks at WAITPROMPT, or that automatic bulletin
selection no longer works.)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Answer: There are some significant differences in the way that FBB V7
behaves compared to V5.15.
1. Users need to have the 'F' flag set in their status, or
they usually can't use compressed download and compressed
forward at all. You need to consult your sysop about getting
the 'F' flag set.
2. FBB V7 will NOT allow a user to use both compressed
download and compressed forward in the same session. Therefore
WinPack users should either not use compressed forwarding, or
they should edit PACKET.INI and put "SPLIT_SESSIONS=TRUE" in
the [FBB] section. This stops WinPack trying to use both
compressed forward and compressed download in the same
session. Please note that from V6.3 onwards "Split Sessions"
can be set from the "Mail", "Mail Options" window in WinPack,
you don't need to edit PACKET.INI.
3. When a BBS changes over to FBB V7, the BBS prompt may
change, so you may need to change "BBS prompt" in "Personal/
BBS Info". If you find the BBS sends you a multi-line prompt,
the best thing to do is to manually connect to the BBS and
send the 'X' command to put yourself in expert mode. WinPack
does not handle the multi-line prompt very well.
4. When a BBS changes over to FBB V7, the layout of the
message list may change. If you don't use the unproto headers,
you may need to work through the various options on the
WinPack "Options", "Bulletin Columns..." sub-menu.
