I'd have to look in a couple of message areas to see where Bo gave me the
pointer to the FastLst source and the compiling instructions.  If you
follow his instructions, it does compile.  The source was off the Husky
project's source forge site.  Basically, Bo had me compile fastlst without
the fidoconfig option.....  if I remember correctly.  But I don't remember
what flag I needed to set to do that.....  Do you have archives of this
(MUFFIN), TUB (for squish), BINKLEY and BINKD echos?  I think we discussed
this within the past month or two.

 RT> Hopefully you find what the problems related to the nodelists are.

Only when I finally have time to look at that problem.  Since there are
higher priority items to get fixed, it's more of a note that I need to look
at the problem....  If I remember correctly, Wes wants me to start digging
into the semiphore code of Maximus and see if I can get something running
under Linux in the same vain that the OS/2 code uses.  This is needed to
get things like the chat and who's on functions working, interprocess
communications, and possibly re-direct console output to a pipe as an
alternative to the consoles used now.....

So far, I've just had enough time to keep up with the message areas, and
try testing some theories I've had about some of the errors I've hit in
getting a BBS running under Linux......  Hopefully, my responding to
messages here is allowing Wes (and Bo) to get other work done on the code.

Take care.....

Bob Jones.....
