  • Upgrade path from 3.33 to 4.10

    From Oyvind Hallsteinsen@2:222/2 to Alan Ianson on Tuesday, June 10, 2025 22:30:00
    I have an upgrade package from 2019 that has those directories if you need it let me know and I'll get it to you.

    Thanks -- I'll let you know if I need them.

    I saw there was software to upgrade the message board and config to 3.42,
    but nothing more recent.
    I upgraded from 4.01 Flag without any issues. Keep a backup of course.. just in case.. :)

    Nice to know, then I just need to confirm the jump from 3.42 to 4.01. I've sendt a message to the devs, so hopefully they will be able to help.

    Of course I can just try my luck, but just thought I'd check before I wasted time on a doomed project :)

    Was your BBS connected to any FTN networks at that time? If so does the backup
    contain messagebases and nodelists from that time? I'm interested in FidoNet and AmigaNet related historic files.

    It was connected to a few:
    - Local ones from my region (Trondelag, Norway): TreffNett, WackoNet and TicNett
    - One I don't remember, just have its name in my old ANSI ads: NDC
    - BBBSnet :)

    Probably not very useful for you, but if you do know what NDC was all about, I'd be interested :)
