Hehe okay :-)

If you just can try compile it and send me a error log..

Well the most of it, it's working very well.. Let's take it section for section..

* Communication: Works very well over Telnet, before Wes got very busy he
was   nearly finishing the Serial IO module. 
* Squish: Works very well, and very stable.. The port is 99% finished.
* Sqafix: The same as squish
* Maximus:
* - Messaging: Tip top
* - File transfer: By _VERY_ big problem at the time, download works, but  
  uploads really don't works. BTW Didn't you do some work at binkleyterm?
    It would be very nice if there was somebody who really know Zmodem    
filetransfer, so he just could give me a HINT of where I should look
* - QWK: Works, but It doesn't help while the upload isn't working
* - MEX: Still having big problems
* - Mecca: No problems at all
* - Chat/IPC: Tip top
* - External program: Works not well, I wrote a Quick-And-Dirty fix just to
    get archiving working so I could fix QWK.
* - If I forgot something it might be working..

So we are about 75% finished the port.. MEX is for a programmer with very
big experience.. And I don't have so..

Regards,
Bo
