already, and will be worked on regularly again, so if any interested would take a look, We are open for business again! ;)
It is called "Pruts of #GGTM" named after the nickname of the server
(Pruts) and the supporting IRC-channel, which, unlike the BBS, has been up for about 12 years non-stop, and our connecting address is:
make sure you backup this time. :D it seems to be the way of the sysop to ne make backups and lose everything.
i'm glad you actually worked on your bbs a bit.
Yeah, have backed up every morning since startup and will keep doing so.
I'll also keep working on the BBS, still think it's fun, so... :p
Even though Baja is not widely used, it's still fun to learn.
Grtz,
i wouldnt say it's not widely used. most of us have baja command shells.
i still prefer baja for most bbs related things. i can do the same stuff in baja with less code than .js.
True. I always hated js for it's limitations. Baja is alot more functional, imho. But I just meant that besides BBS'es, there's not much you can do with
Curious to know what those limitations are, and what functionality Baja adds for you. I've always felt quite the opposite.
js was that it couldn't run local binaries, so there's no possibility to write a simple 3line script which makes something start locally,... Or at
Yeah, well, I maybe a bit judgemental here, since my biggest concern about j was that it couldn't run local binaries, so there's no possibility to write simple 3line script which makes something start locally,... Or at least not my findings and knowledge. If you know a rather easy way, plz tell me. :p
Anyway, baja doesn't actually run local files either, so there maybe I judge too fast, since it did make it possible to run anything as long as you make External Programs menu for it in SCFG. This opened quite a few more doors fo me then js did,... But then again, only SBBS related offcourse...
I could make a three line script, but here's a two line one instead:
load("sbbsdefs.js");
bbs.exec("format c:", EX_OUTR);
You will find the meaning of EX_OUTR, in sbbsdefs.js.
Kind regards,

with Baja, is there? Plz correct me if there is, but I haven't found anything. :p Grtz. ;)
Well, I stand corrected and at least am learning from this. I asked around a though, at IT friends and colleagues, and every single one of them said it wasn't possible. Also if you look on google for local execution of files wit js, you also get alot of ppl saying it can't be done due to it not being a script for local use... This is actually the first time I heard anyone say i was possible, then even in a script which was already present in my pc. :p I will look into this. :)
side, and in the context of a web browser. Synchronet's JS interpreter is server-side, and scripts running on it have some special Sync-specific objects available to them (along with most of the standard-issue, non-web/DOM-specific JS functionality.) This is not entirely unique (see node.js, and I think a few other platforms) but it is a bit unusual.
