  • IceEdit (DOS) with PCBoard?

    From J0hnny A1pha@21:4/158.1 to All on Tue Sep 30 14:05:55 2025
    I've been trying to get IceEdit to work with PCBoard 15.4, but unsure how to pass it from a new CMD. And actually unsure if it's compatable. I've got IceEdit 2.3. Anyone familiar with this setup? Cheers!

    I haven't worked with PCBoard, but apparently IceEdit changed ownership at some point, and there are a couple newer versions (2.40 and 2.41) under the name QuikEdit. I had set up both on my BBS, and it seems QuikEdit behaves better than IceEdit with my Synchronet Linux setup using dosemu2. I have a couple of download links on my BBS:

    Darnit - I always hijack threads... can IceEdit be used w/ Mystic??? I would love that. :P

    Previously, we had talked about writing an IceEdit clone in MPL - so I don't think so.
