Does anyone know of an editor that'll work with Synchronet
(16 bit dos will do). I've had a user talking about it in jest but
wondered if there's something out there?

The 'joe' editor in Linux uses Wordstar style commands.

can it be configured for BBS users to use without allowing access to files they should not have access to?

Good question, and one that I do not know the answer to. Would have to restrict it to only being used for message drafting, or whatever.
Hopefully somebody knows more and will jump in here.

This is fucking dovenet. 99% of the time the subject line doesn't pertain
to what the msg body says. why didn't binky put it in the msg body?

maybe leave the snark and childish name calling elsewhere, too... i mean...

fuck off, get off nelgin's dick. shouldnt you be flooding a msg network with your gateway?
