Hey, that's good..

I don't know since I've never tried it...... but I've heard from some
people that I shouldn't bother to run the Linux version of Irex.. It's got
too many bugs...so I haven't.

I can understand that... even BBBS has has  serious security bugs.. but Kim
Heino, the author of BBBS fixed those bugs.. after all, we paid $$ for this
software..

I think that's all Sean is saying.. but I'll let him speak for himself ..
that either Charles might fix those bugs, or if he's given up, let the
source loose if he still has it so.. we can fix it.

No one said that Charles HAD to release the source .. at least not that I saw.

Take care,
Janis
