This is a major update to Subtext that represents many months of development,
over
200 amendments,
and many nights of testing and debugging.
The largest change is the addition of
FidoNet (FTN)
support for distributed mail (Netmail) and message boards (Echomail) by way of a
binkp hub.

Fix bug that caused a system lockup on some machines with slower disks; thanks
to Valtteri Koskivuori for helping locate and fix this bug

while
Add resource to allow MultiFinder to correctly open a repo from
double-clicking a .repo file when Amend is already running (thanks to Steve
Crutchfield)

As a frequent reader of the
retrobattlestations
and
VintageApple
subreddits, I see a lot of photos of CRT screens that show significant scanlines
resulting in images like the one on the left.
With a simple post-processing tip on the iPhone (though there is probably a
similar technique for Android phones), it's easy to fix this photo after it's
been taken so it looks like the one on the right:

This is the initial public release of the Subtext BBS server for Classic Mac OS.
It represents a
full year
of development and testing while operating the
Kludge BBS
on my Macintosh Plus.
Thanks to all past and present Kludge users for feedback and bug testing.
I recently acquired a 3M Whisper Writer 1000 communications terminal circa 1983,
and restored it to working order.
This is a short session of it dialing into my
Kludge BBS
(hosted on a Macintosh Plus circa 1986)
over its internal 300 bps modem.
In 2015, I
wrote a custom BBS server in Ruby
and had been using it to run my Kludge BBS on a small OpenBSD server in my
home office since then.
Last year after writing a lot of
C on my Macintosh Plus,
I had the itch to write a new BBS server so I could move my BBS to run on
another Mac Plus.
As with all software development projects, it took quite a bit longer than
expected, but last month I finally got far enough with the development to deploy
the new BBS on a Mac Plus.
Introducing my
Wallops
IRC client, then returning to work on the BBS adding a serial module to join the
console and telnet inputs to allow calls through a modem.
I got stuck for a while trying to figure out why writes to the serial port would
hang the machine.

Since recording a handful of
C Programming on System 6
videos, I've occasionally wanted to live-stream the more casual daily
programming being done on my Macintosh Plus.
After getting all of the pieces together, I now have a working self-hosted
broadcasting setup.
If I happen to be programming on my Mac right now, you can watch
here at my website.

I was trying to use a V4L2
Ruby module
on my OpenBSD laptop but ran into a problem where sending the V4L2 ioctls from
this module would fail, while other V4L2 programs on OpenBSD worked fine.
Since I got a few
questions
recently about kernel development and debugging, I thought I'd write up how I
finally tracked it down and fixed it.
(Spoiler: it was not an OpenBSD problem.)
