I am afraid not.

Charles is nodelisted as 1:340/0 and 1:340/806, but there is no point in
netmailing him. Over the years I have attempted to get in touch with him in
various capacities. As a registered Irex user, as a fellow sysop and as
FTSC member. To no avail, he does not respond.

It is painfully obvious that Charles has lost interest in Fidonet in
general and in Irex in particular. That happens. We live, learn and turn
and while we do, we shift priorities. No problem.

What I do have a problem with is that he sits on the source. Assuming he
still has it of course. Many programmers who lost interest and left Fidonet
have released the source of their product into the public domain. Golded
and Fmail come to mind. That way their products live on and benefit the
Fidonet community.

But Charles just sits on it. :-(

Forget it. The last release was over 7 years ago. Nothing has happened
since. I have given up. What we need is IPv6 support and this is obviously
not going to happen. I'v had a lot of fun with Irex, but now is the time to
say goodbye. I am looking for an alternative - one that WILL support Ipv6 -
and when I found it, I will dump Irex.


Cheers, Michiel
