Actually, Muz, I finally abandoned that approach, because no matter what I did, I kept getting the SecurityException, and no one had a clue regarding how to resolve it. Then a fellow on one of the Python forums suggested a different approach whereby I converted the list of Bible verses into a...

I also wanted to mention to everyone that within the next week, in addiction to Leech 2000 which Michael Alyn Miller included with Hermes II 3.5.11 when he released it years ago, I hope to have five new Jython-based game modules which work with 3.5.11. These will be: 1. ChatGPT Checkers 2. KJV...

Sorry for the late reply, CloverSkull, but I was having Internet troubles the past few days, which were finally resolved this evening. Anyway, I am happy to report the previous issue has been resolved, and "Name That Capital" is coming along nicely, except for one nagging problem. For some...

Sorry for the late response, Muz_, but I was having Internet troubles the past few days. Anyway, with all of the modules I have been working on lately, I have had no problem accessing the Main Menu and other ANSI screens which are stored in the "text" folder of each of my modules. It is just...

I don't know anything about computer laws, coding laws and software laws, but are you saying that even though Michael Alyn Miller purchased the source for Hermes II from Bill Dolinar, and became its final developer before making it open source back around 2015 -- maybe earlier -- that he is not...

Byte Knight, I don't follow your thinking. What do you mean by "It depends on what happens to the ownership of Hermes II"? Michael made Hermes II open source at least nine years ago, and anyone is free to do whatever they want with it now. If anyone here knows their way around Pascal, as far as...

One advantage of running 3.5.11 is that you don't need a registration number. You just enter your BBS's name, and it says that Hermes is registered to that BBS. But, of course I know this doesn't appeal to you, Byte, because only six externals work with 3.5.11. But on the other hand, previous...

No, the quotes file is in the "text" folder, along with my ANSI screens and such. And that's been the problem all along, Something is causing a Java SecurityException regardless of how I name the file, and regardless of which folder I place it in. And it is NOT just the quotes file. With the...

As I believe I mentioned earlier, there are over 3,400 lines in the quote file, and they are NOT just single sentences. They are entire Bible verses, or groups of Bible verses. If I were to add them all to the main.py file, it would quickly grow to over 1 MB in size. I would be concerned with...

Alright, here is your test. ChatGPT insists that the following is code perfect with absolutely no errors. Yet when I try to run it at Hermes' Externals menu, it throws a NameError with the word "True" at line 148 in the main() function where it says "while True". All of the defs are lined up...

Yeah, I suppose ghosting is a good way to put it. I know that he was quite impressed by the website that I created for my BBS, and he seemed open to communication, and then it just suddenly and unexpectedly dried up, leaving me wondering what happened. As far as new externals are concerned, I...

CloverSkull, it is interesting that you should say that, because I have also considered the possibility that Michael got spooked, and just decided that as much as he loves Hermes II, and hated to see it die, he doesn't want to be drawn back into it, precisely because it is old technology, and he...

Hi again Muz. Thanks for trying to help out. To be clear, the issue is NOT that Jython does not run within my BBS environment. It does in fact run, as otherwise, the Leech game would not work at all, and even my own game would not work. Both do in fact work. The only reason why my game stopped...

Hello again, Muz. Okay, maybe I am missing something here. But exactly what is your goal in doing this? The Jython installation that I use on my BBS is a specially designed version of Jython which is compatible with my BBS software and its API. Furthermore, it is only compatible with Python 2...

Here's another update since posting my previous message. So I discovered a few hours ago that Python 3 actually comes with a version 2 to version 3 converter called 2to3, which you run in your Terminal app. You just type 2to3, point to your Python 2 .py file you want to update to Python 3, add a...
