  • XLAXNODE/XLAXDIFF

    From T.J. Mcmillen@1:129/305 to All on Wed Nov 18 00:20:40 2020
    Anyone know who/where to contact to get a key for XLAXNODE/XLAXDIFF? XLAXDIFF isn't the issue, but XLAXNODE generates a random number to type in each time it is run.

    Any help? Thanks!

    ... Why be normal?

    Okay I found a message from 2007 saying the author died some years ago. So, is there a crack/keymaker anywhere floating around?

    You may want to try TBBSNC

    Ref:

    Scott did an uncrippled version for TBBS called TBBSNC (and
    TBBSDIFF for updating the nodelist with the latest diff). Since
    Scott is no longer around and eSoft no longer has any interest
    in TBBS I think Richard could easily get hold of a copy from,
    say, www.tbbs.org (I think it is). If not I have a copy which I
    still use.

    I didn't realize Richard was running TBBS -- I didn't pay enough
    attention to the message <blush>. I have a custom built xlax* which
    Scott did for me some years ago, and truthfully I no longer remember
    what was special about it! :-)

    I don't know if Richard is running TBBS or not. It doesn't matter because TBBSNC works just like XLAXNODE - it *is* XALXNODE to all intents and purposes,
    but with additions to work with TBBS (which one doesn't have to use if one is not running TBBS). However the major advantage is that it needs no registration. It was issued free to TBBS users and, presumably, eSoft paid a royalty to Scott. But since eSoft has washed its hands entirely of TBBS all the
    TBBS software is appearing for download free of charge from several servers.

    Best wishes, David

    Usually old BBS stuff is archived but you're right. Seems hard to find.

    One day I'll learn to do write keygens lol.

    I can't even find any TBBS stuff. Only thing that pops up with TBBS is that crappy Tribbs software. :(
