I've been doing some occasional work on it.  The latest is just a tidy-up
of the version required to run with only Fido zones #s between 1 & 5.

:)  Been there, done that.  At present, I'm using a 1.44 floppy to feed
test stuff to/from the two DOS versions installed in linux.

My next step is to maybe use the 'temp.bat' file a bit more, to get around
the 'local' limitation.  I just haven't had time recently, with quite a few
other things going on at present besides Fido.

Neither am I; I know how to code/program (simple, procedural stuff)... that's it.  :)

Cheers,
Paul.
