JJYYPPCC, you can change your Grex shell with the `change` command. Pick Shell
form the menu, then set your shell to one of the following:
/bin/sh
/bin/csh
/bin/ksh
/usr/local/bin/bash
/usr/local/bin/es
/usr/local/bin/psh
/usr/local/bin/rc
/usr/local/bin/sash
/usr/local/bin/scsh
/usr/local/bin/tcsh
/usr/local/bin/zsh
/cyberspace/bin/bbsh
/cyberspace/bin/menu
.

If you are validated, of course. If not your are stuck in a restricted
shell (resh).

You can hit the Koopas with your shell but make sure you jump if it
ricochets off of a pipe.

Also, green koopas will walk off a cliff, but red koopas are smarter and will
not walk off a cliff. Beware of blue koopas, as they walk faster.

This shell was made to order. That's why it fits me so well.

The system is trying to trick you into thinking it is vibrant and useful
with new posts. People are interested in Grex!

Grex is wearing parachute pants and a Frankie Goes to Hollywood shirt.
Holding an ice cream while checking the Casio watch. Humming "It's a
Sin" by Pet Shop boys in the mall. They are showing Preadator in the
cinema in 20 minutes. Play some defender when the ice cream is gone to
burn some time. Compliance and productivity is the mantra of mall rat
Grex.

The people that actively participate are warm and friendly, but most of that
is in 'party' and on gopher I believe. There are really only one or two sour
grapes here in bbs... and really only a handful of active users period. What
grex really needs are more people who are willing to participate.

What tfurrows said.
Also, a hallmark of both Grex and its sister site M-Net are a somewhat
ascerbic and dry sarcastic wit. It's not meant to be personal or mean;
just funny. Feel free to join in!

I go with the "warm atmosphere" sentiments; Grex is indeed quite a cosy place
to hang out, and a warm friendly bunch of people to hang out with. The 'party'
comms program is a good place to meet other Grexers, even if they are not
online at the same time. The Grex gopher server, has not long been back online
, after 'quite' a few years (how many years now?) and is a great addition to
the gopher universe: well worth a visit, or adding your own gopher page to
the server (some tutorials in user: papa, and tfurrows, gopher holes, to help
create your own gopher hole and join in :) ).
More people would be nice.

I'm "Dazed and Confused". Does anyone have a quick answer to this
question? What the heck happened to Grex?? How does a "Public Service
System" lose the public? I've read most of the BBS stories and the history of
Grex. Does Grex believe they can revive Front/Talk / Back/Talk?? No seriously.
Is there a plan to bring in new users? Are you guys/gals just toot'in your
horn? Remembering the "Good Old days"? I'll tell you what..I'd kill to be
sitting in front of the console of Grex servers, wherever that is. But that's just
me. I had it great in 1994 with LI.NET but that was many moons ago. No
sense in crying over spilled milk right. So What the heck happened??

The World-Wide Web happened.
Smartphones happened.
Broadband and Wi-Fi happened.
Angry Birds happened.
Where have you been?
We are here because we enjoy Grex more than the alternatives, but 1994
is not going to come around again.
