Hello Alan.

Yes it compiles under Linux very nicely, provided you remove the DOS line 
endings in the make file, as per the DOCS. But I would prefer one that does 
not rely on an outside application for compiling a V7 nodelist

NO, not using DOSEMU, running native Linux applications, and yes, I use 
BinklyTerm because it is free, I have source code and compile it to work under 
Linux - but if I can drop the requirement for Fastlst for which I now have 
source that compiles under Linux, and works fine, but is still a requirement 
I'd like to "get rid" of if possible.

D'Bridge is a DOS app, and probably a reasonably good one, otherwise Ward 
would not have "stuck" with it all these years, but just as I'd
like to get 
rid of the requirement for Fastlst for my mailer, so, I'd rather not have to 
install JAVA, for an application such as D'Bridge ...
