yup...

FWIW: the sources to all three of the family are available from one site... how
up to date they are with the binaries that have been released is another
question...

FWIW2: there has been a few attempts to port the code of at least Taurus to
Freepascal/Lazarus but the conversion isn't all that easy even with the Lazarus
conversion tool... there's a lot of stuff from an addon library (jedi IIRC)
that has to be removed along with generalizing the delphi and winwhatever
specific code so that it can be compiled for linux and winwhatever at least...
hopefully OS/2 and MacOS flavours can also be handled...

FWIW3: i'm aware of at least one project to take only the binkp mailer code and
work it into another project... that is taking longer than was expected, too...
