 It's not going to compile out of the box.  You're going to
 have to make a number of modifications.  A good portion
 of the mods will be in the video output code.  You will have
 to decide on which screen handling library for Linux to use.
 I have done some porting of DOS apps to Linux and I can tell
 you that text mode programing for Linux leaves a lot to be
 desired.  Unless you have root privileges, you are restricted
 in what you can do.  For example, you can't do direct screen
 writes.  Though, if you don't care that root is required to
 run your version than you will have an easier go of it.

 I don't think there is one.

 The least of your worries. :-)

TW> has anyone here arleady compiled Msged 4.2 with Linux?

 I think I read somewhere that Paul Edwards is working on it
 right now.  I'm sure that paul will give us a solid version.
