so i can live in fidonet without husky ?, not that i want to, but its what you
say ?

Janis is :)

same here, it just not possible right now on android to use it natively yet,
thats why i am using nntp, and might aswell be why mbse have nntpd aswell

have around 2 years ago an php web reader that used fidosql backend, but since
it was killed by insecure permissions here i lost it :(

since then i have not got inspiration to build it from buttom again

i just hope smapi-api would extend to more then opus, squish, jam, eg lets try
opendbm ? (think sqlite)

 MK> Last time I checked, hpt had no issues tossing utf-8 messages.

well its if its sent in unicode endcoded 7 bit so its safe for tossers, but
that does not mean that hpt cant handle unicode better, eg fix cp1251 isssues
:)

 MK> Exactly what requires patching?

brokken codepages from clients as you send unicode and hope whole world have
msged read it just fine, while its only latin-1 that works anywhere, amiga
software still not support anything other then latin-1 aka iso-8859-1 in there
programs, why should it be changed ?

in fidonet apps there was still full support to read all known codepages in
chrs kluge so it was displayed and recoded to latin-1 as it was ment to in the
first place

AMIGA THE BEST COMPUTER EVER

you mix problems and want to ignore solutions on base of there is no problems

i sayed husky since husky is not just hpt for me, if it is that for you you
might upgrade :)
