Good.

The "hangs" after the password on login and after log out are on
my system also, and are the same after I updated from CVS, but my last CVS
update was several days ago.

Following Bo's instructions for compiling FastLst will allow it to compile.
 I haven't been able to get the Version 7 nodelist compile by FastLst to
properly work with the compiles of Maximus under Linux.....  I haven't dug
into the reasons why yet.  [Nodelist info is used when entering netmail
messages to show the name of the BBS you are sending the netmail to after
you type in the to's fidonet node number, at least in the full screen
editor mode of Maximus.]

Take care.....
