I can add a bit to this.

I have both FTP and Telnet working in my copy of MTS and Hercules. Unfortunately this requires both changes to Hercules and the 1996 version of MTS, neither of which is generally available. I really hope to do something about this soon. To do so I need to finish up the Hercules changes and get them integrated into the Hyperion version of Hercules. I (or I hope we) also need to clean up the 1996 version of MTS so it can be released.

By the way, Hyperion is definitely not a .NET program. It's written almost entirely in C.

I think we have permission to include Confer in the 1996 version of MTS. If I'm wrong I'm sure someone will correct me.

John,

  1. I don’t think this has ever progressed
  2. I don’t think anyone builds a current Hercules for Linux. You have to build from source
  3. The only currently maintained Hercules is the SDL Hyperion :-

If you use the Hercules Helper it should build on Linux. I think the latest 3.xx which you can install by APT or whatever will be fine for MTS ?

  1. Not seen any news on CONFER

Subject: [H390-MTS] Hello from new user.

Hi – I was a student at Wayne State University in the 1980’s and used MTS quite a bit.

?

I noticed that there haven’t been many posts lately – I know people are probably busy and don’t have much time for work on MTS stuff.

?

Just have a few questions:

?

  1. I know that some work was done to get FTP from MTS working, and I think, Telnet as well.? How is that going and which version of Hercules is needed to support this?
  2. I can’t seem to find a version of Hercules 4+ that is compiled for Linux (CentOS 7). If its source-only, I can probably just get it and compile it.
  3. I saw a version of Hercules called Hyperion that appears to be .NET only. I assume there isn’t a Linux version. Is this true?
  4. Any news about Confer? ?I know that was Bob Parnes / Advertel Communications. Not sure if Bob is still around. If so, wonder if he would mind making Confer available for people to use.

?

Thanks.
