  • Flag to show busy

    From Sean Rima@2:263/1 to All on Friday, November 21, 2025 20:29:38
    Is there a flag I can set when binkd is busy with either a session in or out? I know I could search for the bsy files but that would be too slow I think

    What are you trying to do? If nobody else ever needed it, you might be doing it wrong!? ;-)


    Bye, Wilfred.

    I think it is coming from BBBS which had flags for almost everything :) Fmail will honour the busy flags for me :)
