No promises at all, but after a very long time I've found some time to do
bit of this..:

I'm getting myself back into it gently - I've reworked ZPOP3Xfer as afirst
project. A bit of a useless program these days but a nice codebase to workon
and I've added a few new features to it.
Hopefully see you around a bit more often ! :-)

Can you implement the TZUTC kludge? ;-)

I'm getting myself back into it with some gentle work around zpop3xfer
to add some new features.
And then a really big missing feature - native telnet(s) support direct into the BBS.
I use telser normally, but find it hangs when hammered by probes on the modern internet. So far this native support is holding up to testing ..
28/03/26
o zeus - added comments to the Zeus source file - the first active
work done in a very long time.
29/03/26
o ZPOP3Xfer -
Recreated config.c for ZPOP3Xfer, bringing that codebase back to
life.
Noted that the feature complete version of
ZPOP3Xfer from 2003, before the source code loss, has been
running as-is
for nearly 23 years since 23/04/03.
30/03/26
o ZPOP3Xfer - added a Ctrl-C handler, aborting a fetch of emails
from one server part-way-through safely.
Improved help shown when called with ? or incorrect arguments.
Added a CONFIG argument to the command line to support running with
alternative POP3 configurations.
08/05/26
o ZPOP3Xfer - added support for POP3S - POP3 over SSL/TLS on port
995.
Requires AmiSSL v5.
11/05/26
o TelnetConnector, TelnetSevice, Prefs/Lines - added support for native
telnet support, including native support for telnets (secure telnet
over TLS) using the optional AmiSSL v5 integration.
12/05/26
o mbzeus - researched a design error. The maintenance function renumbers
messages from 1 when cleaning up a message base. This break
user
highptrs. It cannot be removed as another function expects
delete
messages to exist in the Hdr file. More work needed.
o mbMananger - fixed compilation bug around the mbInitalise() call.
Hi Neil,add some new features.

Onwards .. we are very close to Zeus 1.8 making an appearance.
I haven't got 1.8 out yet but 1.9 is now starting to take shape.[...]
There is definite line here where 1.8 stops and 1.9 starts. I've
o ChatDoor - a new cross-node chat door for the BBS. Very basic,
but perhaps can be built into some bigger and better. Built entirely
on an Event Bus channel. A test for the Event Bus.

and relays ChatDoor traffic to a configured channel, and vice
versa.

Before you go down the rabbit whole, of IRC type things, perhaps
checkout Zirc. It's a CLI raw mode door written for Zeus, but also
works with E!, DLG and CNet. There are currently seven bbs systems
running it, and all connected to the network.
I had noticed this in BBS adverts and I think I'll get set up with it soon.
This ChatDoor is very much 'scratching an itch' - Zeus does't ship with its own door and I want to close that gap - I've used a DLG chat door myself for this gap since forever. But it is also something I'm using to test some backend features that will arrive in Zeus 1.9, part of bigger work to add more capabilities.

Join us Neil, it is super easy to set up and to be totally honest runs flawlessly! I have it on my 2 Amiga BBS and my PC Mystic BBS. You can usually find either Stephen in there at all different times, or both of
us and others on Saturday nights after 10pm EST.. Give us a try.. You
I've not been on there during the week of late, due to other IRL things going on. The main issue Neil will have is the time difference!
10pm EST (USA) is 4am London time!

Ouch!! So what time do the bars close in London? Go get drunk and show up!! LOL
just kidding. Yea, that would make it really tough! Oh well.. ;)
