Hi Zdenek and all,
A perfectly good way to send schematics and images is using 7+ and it's
done all the time. It's simply a form of ASCII so any node should support
it just as it does plain text.
Of course it's foolish to start with a .gif image, it's one huge file, so
reducing the image size and converting to .jpg which is a compressed file
is the way to go. Then splitting it into managable parts and sending one
at a time (one per day or at least one per forwarding cycle) will cause
no trouble on the network. The parts are compiled when the image is
complete and may be opened in any appropriate image viewer.
As far as I know a binary file transfer using YAPP will only go
point-to-point so such files are only stored on the BBS for local users
to download. Most BBSes no longer support this function in favor of
better methods such as 7+ and for what it's worth I once got a virus from
my local BBS back in the old days and ceased the practice immediately.
Speaking of viruses, never fear those .jpg images sent by 7+ since they
can't support active content. The .zip files I see once in a while are
another story and should be handled with care since some anti-virus
software can't scan the contents of zipped files. The way to deal with
them is unzip them to a temp folder and scan before opening, active
content is harmless unless you run it.
Yeah, that's how you can test your anti-virus, deliberately put a virus
in your computer and see if the software can detect it. It won't do any
harm and you DO remember where you put it so you can always delete it
when you're done.
