                           HOT NEWS

               This is the second FidoNews newsletter. There isn't
       much news this week, unfortunately. Please send some, and
       there will be.

               Last weeks article on security is included again,
       with an update.

               Fido version 10a has a bug, in entering download
       filenames. There is a version 10a 1/2 that fixes it.


                    ARTICLE SUBMISSION

               The format of this thing is totally ad hoc; please
       make recomendations as to formats, sections needed, liked,
       or hated, columns you'd like to see, or see removed,
       anything at all. If you want to submit something regularly,
       we can start a column for you.

               You are ENCOURAGED to send things in for the
       newsletter. ANYTHING is fit for the newsletter, such as a
       description of your board, problems found, questions, jokes,
       fixes, horror stories about wrong FidoNet numbers, things
       for sale, etc etc etc.

                  SUBMITTING AN ARTICLE

               An article should have your name, node number (if
       applicable), followed by the text. Text can be any ASCII
       derivative; WordStar, soft paragraphs, 8th bit set, etc are
       all OK.

               Articles can be uploaded at either Fido #1 or #51,
       into the NEWS File Area, or by sending it by FidoNet. There
       is a convention for naming the files, so that the newsletter
       can be published automatically.

                           NEWS

                     HOW THIS IS PUBLISHED

               This is a totally electronic newsletter; articles
       are written of course by users and sysops, but all other
       parts and proceedures are machine generated.

               For each newsletter, the Editor (thats me folks)
       does the date and volume of the title page (tough job), and
       whatever editorial there may be.

               Articles are checked out for being readable (ie.
       more or less English language), and bum copies (bad uploads,
       etc) are deleted.

               The lists generated by FidoNet Admin (St. Louis)
       such as the node list, Fido list, and the route list, come
       in via FidoNet during the week.

               On the day the newsletter is to be published, Fido
       #1 runs the text formatter (as a schedule) to produce the
       newsletter, using all the articles, the node and Fido lists.
       The completed newsletter is then copied into the NEWS file
       area. All of the article submissions are saved as last
       week's news, and deleted to make room for next weeks.

               Some canned messages are copied into Fido 1's mail
       area, which file attaches the newsletter to the distribution
       points. This completes the FidoNews Newsletter publication.
            FIDO SECURITY - Tom Jennings

               Last week I mentioned a way that a few systems have
       had their security breached; it seems I left out the
       simplest method of all. First, a summary of waht was said
       last week:

               Fido is pretty secure, but there have been a few
       instances where callers gave them selves SYSOP priveleges,
       and ran amok ... the cure is quite simple.

               NEVER NEVER NEVER have your "main" Fido directory
       available as a download or upload area. Always make sure
       there is no path that can reach your .BBS files. It is OK to
       have it as a SYSOP only area, never let it be accessed by
       NORMAL users.


               If it is available, all someone has to do is get a
       copy of SYSOP.EXE, run it, and make a USER.BBS with them as
       SYSOP privelege. After uploading this file, they call back
       in, with the new name, and bingo! they are in control.

               A nastier version of this is to download your
       current user list, use SYSOP.EXE to upgrade them (or two, or
       three ... in case you find one of them) the upload it.

               If this happens to you, delete USER.BBS
       *immediately*. Fix it so that the Fido area is not available
       to users, and then you will be safe.

               Better do it quick, now that it's all documented
       here.
fidonews.man --           11 Dec 84  00:58:48           Page 4



               THIS WEEK'S UPDATE

               It is not necessary for anyone to go through all
       that rigamarole. All they have to do is download USER.BBS,
       get a copy of SYSOP.EXE, and see what the sysop's password
       is. And probably a few others' passwords as well. I will
       repeat the solution:

               NEVER! have your main Fido directory accessable for
       downloading. Never, never.

               If you suspect this has happened to you, DELETE your
       user list. Better to have everyone sign in again, than to
       have someone crash your board repeatedly.


               TIPS

               For some systems, you may need to have these areas
       accessable to some users. One way is to make that file area
       EXTRA or PRIVEL, and let only certain people get at it.

               If you want to make things in that area available
       for downloading, such as Fido or other programs, you will
       have to put a seperate copy into another subdir or disk.

               Fido does not filter filenames; it will let any
       accptable name pass though. This is a two edged sword; you
       have to be careful what you make accessable.

               Note that just because a file is not in the file
       list (FILES.BBS) doesn't mean it cant be downloaded. If it
       is there, it can be downloaded, regardless of whether or not
       it's in the list.

               Fido does check for device names, such as CON, AUX,
       LPT1, COM1, etc. It changes the second character into $, so
       uploading COM1 would become C$M1, etc. It will not let these
       names be downloaded either.

       Moral outrage
       -------------
       V. Bachulis

       My weekly issue of INFOWORLD just arrived today, Thursday the 29th. It
       seems that the subject of software copy-protection is getting to be hotter
       and hotter day by day.  And not without due cause. In the issue prior to
       the one I got today, INFOWORLD did an article covering Vault Corporation's
       NEW "Killer copy-protection".  For those of you who are not schooled in
       the ways and wiles of copy-protection schemes, what the article had to
       say may be some food for thought.

       Briefly, copy protection is basically of only two or three types.  The
fidonews.man --           11 Dec 84  00:58:55           Page 5


       main forms are either bad crc's or extra-long or extra-short sectors,
       which the PC can not read since it only uses 256k sectors on the average
       floppy you use.  There are other forms, some of which are more effective,
       and others which basically amount to nothing.  Symphony and MS WORD are
       two of the more prominent packages that come to mind for "sophisticated"
       copy-protection.  On the low end, the INFOCOM series comes to mind. But
       then again, it isn't a $500 dollar program, either.

       Now, it seems, software publishers are getting to be more and more uptight
       about people either A)Pirating their software (most of which isn't worth
       the disk it was copied on) or B)Making honest, legitimate backups of their
       valuable software.  Towards that end, Vault Corp. has come out with the
       ultimate in copy-protection.  What they propose is a form of copy-protec-
       tion that will, if an illegitimate (or legitimate) copy is made using some
       other method than purchasing a back-up disk or using a supplied program
       like those supplied with the PFS: series, literally, blow up your machine.
       Some of the details that were announced about this "new killer copy-protec
       tion" were that it would come up with a warning that the software was not
       a legitimate copy of the software, and it would then give you a certain
       time limit in which to shut off the machine or risk permanent damage to
       your machine and/or hard-disk.  The permanent damage you ask? It would
       release a "worm", which is a small program designed with the intent of
       doing some form of damage, into your PCs' ROM BIOS and all associated
       firmware and it would then proceed to destroy your system. Completely.

       Why do I take umbrage at this disgusting outrage?  Stop and think about
       it for a minute.  The lost profits from pirated software are not as
       outrageous as the industry would have us believe, and in many cases
       are blown totally out of proportion.  I am of the firm opinion that if
       a package is worth a damn, then the person who pirated the software
       will ultimately purchase the program legitimately.  For a second, even
       stronger reason, consider the following quote from INFOWORLD:

              "Should we turn Vault's  worm loose  on medical  records
               stored in a database?  What if  one  of Defendisk's ...
               traps casually  omits  the fact  that some  5-year old-
               may have a fatal  reaction to penicillin?  I'm sure the
               grieving parents would understand that software pirates
               must be stopped. They should have been more careful when
               selecting their doctor. Couldn't they tell that this guy
               copies software?  And who cares if the pension  records
               of several hundred employees are capriciously destroyed?
               We can't have illegal copies of software floating around.

       What Vault and Defendisk propose to implement, and in some cases already
       have, amounts to nothing short of a total disregard for this nation's laws
       and principles.  This form of abuse of those who use and purchase software
       should not be tolerated.  Granted, software piracy must be stopped or at
       least controlled.  Until the industry takes a more rational, adult approach
       to the problem, this isn't going to happen.  What will happen is that when
       the first copy, legitimate or not, of this software blows up someone's
       PC and destroys all their critical data, be it patient data, or business
       records, there will be absolute hell to pay on the part of the software
       industry.  I will hazard a guess that the introduction of this new pro-
       tection will go so far as to put those companies out of business who
       utilize this form of protection.  Until we start to see companies like
       Borland International, who put out QUALITY software at a REASONABLE
       price, this little game of "bust the copy-protection" is going to continue
       regardless of whether or not there are lethal forms of protection running
       around.  I applaud Borland for their outstanding product and can only
       hope that the rest of the industry will follow suit.  Granted, Lotus
       or dBASE III may indeed be good programs, but they don't warrant the
       fee of $500 bucks a crack.  It is a long over-due for software companies
fidonews.man --           11 Dec 84  00:59:06           Page 6


       to wise up and realize that they can't pull the wool over the end-users'
       eyes forever.

                               FIDO TOOLS


               There are now some handy programs that make using
       Fido easier, and add some new functions. They are available
       on Fido 1, probably others too, but I dont know where.

               TWIX

               TWIX has only one function; it prints out new
       FidoNet mail message on a printer or to a disk file. You can
       schedule it as an external event, and have it print out all
       mail received that night, so that you just look at your
       printer to see what came in.

               This works by looking for messages that haven't been
       read yet; if you read them first with Fido, TWIX will not
       print them.

               SOURCE for this program is available.


               NODELIST.EXE

               This program, by John Warren takes the NODELIST.XXX
       from Fido 51 and makes you a NODELIST.BBS. It will remove
       the 1 and area code for local (to you) systems, put in
       sprint or other dialing prefixes, enter costs as you
       specify, etc.

               One time only you put the needed information into a
       file used by the program, and after that just run it when
       you get a new list. It makes customizing the nodelist from a
       one hour chore to a 30 second simple task.


               WATCHDOG

               IBM PC and clones only: this program is used with
       the 0 command, and monitors the Carrier Detect signal from
       the modem. If carrier is lost while you are in DOS, it will
       restart Fido, so that another caller wont end up in your
       DOS. There are versions for COM1, COM2, etc, and source is
       available. By John Reinders at the Sailboard. (61)


               READMSG

               This does some of the Fido type message read
       functions, but from DOS, and lets you scan them, and
       optionally print them. This one is from Kurt Reisler, The
       Bears Den (74).
               TOM TCIMPDIS' LA BUST
fidonews.man --           11 Dec 84  00:59:12           Page 7



               The LA BBS bust is far from over. There hasn't been
       any news lately, apparently because they are going through
       the usual legal maneuvering, of hearings, pre-hearings, etc
       etc.

               However it turns out, this is an important case, and
       whether you believe it or not, it will affect you directly,
       even if you are not in LA and even if you are not a sysop.

               Tom's guilt or innocence is only a small part of the
       importance of this, and since most of us were not regular
       callers to his board, it is hard to comment on it.

               The underlying issue here is one of control: who is
       liable for the contents of a BBS? It was related to me (by
       someone who had lawyers persue it) that the status of BBS's
       is quite up in the air; are they common carriers (ie. the
       phone co.) or are they publishers (ie. newspapers). Phone
       companies have limited liability because they provide a
       medium, and not the contents, and are generally not liable.
       (If you arrange a sale for a stolen bicycle by phone,
       Pacific Bell is not resonsible). Publishers control their
       contents, and I think are liable for even the contents of
       their classified ads, though that is obviously impossible to
       ensure.

               You really should voice your opinion on this issue.
       It will not mark you as a political radical, and the FBI
       will not harrass your neighbors. It is your right, and our
       right to free communications.

               Losing this case will be a large step towards
       regulating BBSs. Regulation will mean the death of BBSs as
       we know it. We are unregulated, and are quite responsible
       and take care of our own problems. The trouble makers are
       far and few between.

               Take the time to think about all of the systems you
       have ever called and patronized, and consider how they were
       run, how they were handled and how problems were solved. I
       think you will find that they take quite good care of
       themselves on the whole, and problems are resolved between
       the users and the sysops.

               If you want to help keep it this way, where you have
       a very large say in what BBSs do, what they are used for,
       and how they are run, please write!

               The sample letter below can be used if you want.
       Please send a copy to both people listed below; Lindner is
       defending Tom Tcimpidis, and is a BBS user himself.

       Dear Sir,

               I would like to take this oppurtunity to speak in
       behalf of computer bulletin board sytems (BBSes).  Bulletin
       Boards are excellent ways to meet other computer users and
       hold intelligent conversations with them.  Bulletin boards
       are a very convenient way to get any help you might need for
       your computer, from advice on a game to programming
       techniques and technical information.

               The idea that all of these bulletin boards are used
       solely for pirating of software and illegal telephone usage
       is one that is ill-conceived, stemming from the occasional
       "bad seed" of BBSes.  In reality, these illegal BBSes are
       few and far between, and are frowned upon by the general
       BBS-using public.

           I urge you to consider all the good of which BBSes are
       capable, and not the bad side shown by several rare and
       unacceptable examples.

           Thank you in advance for your consideration in this
       matter.




                                  Sincerely,

                       (print and sign your name here)

       From: Doug Brantley  To: All
       Subject: Fast Console Under MS-DOS
       According to the Nov. 84 issue of 'Digital Review'.......
       'Ever notice how slow your Rainbow screen output is under
       MS-DOS  version 2.05?  The people at the DEC-8000 hot line
       in Atlanta told me  to change the byte at address 40:19 from
       03 (hex) to 13. To do this  automaticalyy at boot-up time,
       add the following line to your  AUTOEXEC.BAT file:
       -
                           DEBUG<FASTCON
       Then create a file named FASTCON that contains the following
       two lines:
                           E40:19 13
                           Q
       Lo and behold, screen output now runs about twice as fast.'
       -
       I found this statement in the Tech Talk column on page 106.
       It is too  bad that more discussion was not given the
       subject. Why that byte and  how does it speed output to the
       screen?
       -
       I did the patch and the screen output is much faster.

       #18  1 27 Nov 84  20:43:04
       To: William Roberts
       Subject: fast console

             The MSDOS BIOS has this feature called the "fast
fidonews.man --           11 Dec 84  00:59:26           Page 9


       device". It has  two components: a bit in the device
       descriptor table (the 03 -> 13  patch mentioned) and the
       "fast device" code, pointed to by Interrupt  #29h.

           The idea is that if you have a device youd like to run
       real fast,  you can use this for output. There can be only
       one fast device in the  system, and it is almost always CON.

          If MSDOS finds the FASTCON bit set, then it uses INT 29h
       for all its  console output, instead of the normal BIOS
       call, which invokes a huge,  slow, paacket process for each
       byte displayed.

           Note that there has to be INT 29 code installed; you can
       write it  yourself, then set the bit in the table.
           This feature probably does not exist for MSDOS 3.xx.
