No IMAP server, but it would be straightforward to compile one, such 
as Cyrus

dovecot

nice work kaj keep going on

Thanks

then one could run the Rebol IMAP bbs straight out of the box

That's used by Rebol France for their discussions

Yeah, one of the next things is building middleware stacks

You get good pure REBOL ones included, though :-)

I'm running a vm of fedora just to run this bbs script!

Ah. A Syllable Server VM would be much more lightweight. That's one 
of the things I designed it for

your internet server in 256K ^^

lol

Well, not really; it's still Linux

you don't have money you don't have an internet serveur you have 
a digital watch  -> lets go  !!!

your internet server on your digital watch yeaaaaaaah

http://www.digicamsoft.com/cgi-bin/rebelBB.cgiis the script

The documentation points to a disappeared site

I seem not to be the only one with that problem

Kaj, are you aware of gobolinux.org ?

I ran it for a few years to try it

They took their ideas from AtheOS six years ago, our predecessor

I have an article in mind to put them straight :-)

I think they have an article about the coming or not coming from 
AtheOS :)

It wasn't very usable at the time, though. It has fundamental and 
practical problems

anyway, they may have solved some of the problems you have too, that's 
why i was pointing it out.

They have an article about how much they are Unix. I don't remember 
much about AtheOS

I've thoroughly evaluated them. I have been solving problems they 
created for themselves

Graham, does RebelBB need only REBOL and Dovecot?

.

Dotting your i's?

Kaj, there never was any documentation except the source code which 
is linked at the bottom.  and all you need is Rebol and an imap server.

the missing link you refer to is the rebol documentaion project .. 
and yes, that has disappeared.

Oh, OK

But is Dovecot all it needs?

Or can it use any IMAP server?

Any imap server

I just thought dovecot was the easiest to setup.

So would you be interested in replacing your Fedora VM?

absolutely

How big is it?

let me check

gee .. I've got about 3Gbs of various virtual disks

Server's footprint is 370 MB. I'm also going to produce a trimmed 
version, but that will take a while longer

How big an image do you need?

anything smaller than what I have is good, and a virtual disk that 
can grow

to accomodate the messages

I have to create it at a certain size. The one I have now is 10 GB, 
I believe. Is that enough?

yes!

does it have vmware tools installed?

No. Do you need it?
