 Nice.  What are your goals for the fileticker?

 I have a raw prototype version running, really more of an experment.  I
don't need to use Yahoo now.  I am tossing packets to .MSG format for the
time being.  I am working developing a really (I hope) robust indexed
messagebase.  Then I'll move to coding my "dream" editor.  :-)

 For now I'm using binkd.  I may take a shot at implementing a binkp
mailer...  but probably not, well, we'll see.  :-)

 No, it doesn't have many redeeming qualities... other than being
available.  I would rather be using QT, but the Windows license is too
expensive for me.  That is why I am looking at wxWindows... and because
there is some peer level support for using wxWindows with DMC via the
forums on the Digital Mars site.  What a great BBS that is!  Walter Bright
is in there answering questions every day,  though I don't think he has
time to get involved in things like wxWindows.  I think the wxWindows forum
was created by one of the more active participants.
