    Hello Alan,

    I am on a 14 day lockdown.

    Is that something that's happening in your area generally? Where are you?

    I hope you haven't tested positive but whetever is happening there I hope your 14 days in lockdown pass without incident.

    Ttyl :-),

    Hello Alan,

    I am on a 14 day lockdown.

    Province of PEI put me on lockdown even when I went to Halifax to pick up my son.

    PEI


    I hope you haven't tested positive but whetever is happening there I hope your 14 days in lockdown pass without incident.

    I am not symptomatic.


    Alan the points portion of the echo is that I am having a hard time figuring out ALLFIX.

    I want to get files from all the fun files places. The ALLFIX help does not tell me how to address what I need to address to get files.

    Hello Alan,

    Province of PEI put me on lockdown even when I went to Halifax to pick
    up my son.

    OK, I think that would happen here in BC as well.

    I hope you haven't tested positive but whetever is happening
    there I hope your 14 days in lockdown pass without incident.

    I am not symptomatic.

    Good, I hope it will stay that way for you, and all of us.

    Alan the points portion of the echo is that I am having a hard time figuring out ALLFIX.

    It's much like Areafix, it alows you to connect, disconnect and list file areas.

    I want to get files from all the fun files places. The ALLFIX help
    does not tell me how to address what I need to address to get files.

    File traffic is not like message traffic, you will only get new files when one of the FDN hatches out new files. There was a new Binkd hatched for the OS/2 version of binkd recently.

    I run the NASA FDN and hatch the NASA Picture of the Day every day so connecting to the NASA file area would be a good place to start. :)

    You can also request NASA from my node, you'll get that latest file from the NASA FDN.

    There is also the EARTH FDN that Dan Richter runs. There are a few files hatched in there everyday. File areas in that FDN include WEATHER, MODIS, EPOD and E-SCIENCE. There are many others as well but those are all active.

    Hi All,

    I am on a 14 day lockdown.

    If it is because you have symptoms or have been exposed, I hope everything turns out OK after the 14 days are up. :(
