I haven't seen the Rainbow News since the June issue but then again,
I'm at college and my dad gave up on forwarding all the magazines.
Hopefully, it will be there by Spring Break (I even wrote an article
for it though it is probably very dated).
As to your problem with BOOT, I believe there is a new version
available for people with DOS 3.1. Check out Mark Bornstein's bboard
at (617) 631-3304. He can connect up to USR HST 9600 baud. If not,
I'll look for it in the next couple of days though I'd have to check
it on my beta-test version of 3.1 (keep forgetting to send my check to
Suitable Solutions).
DO NOT USE THE RAINBOW AT 19.2Kbaud. It won't work past 9600 baud.
In either send or receive, the Rainbow cannot handle the speed (though
it is documented that it can). It supposedly has to do with the
communications chip that they are using (can't remember the number).
I do have MS-Kermit v2.32A available for uuencoded mail. Just tell me
if you want both executables and documentation files. This is the
version that came out in either January or February. One warning:
they are archived using PKZip. Request the beta test version of PKZip
from me if you would like. Send the file requests to me personally at
any of the addresses below.
P.S. As list maintainer: I LIKE ALAN'S POSTS! SO THERE!
P.P.S. Sorry, I just felt like getting a little childish after
reading the debate... :-)
