BS> Why would we need 3 open source msgapis?

 BS> First i would list up all the Squish apis i know:

 BS> * MSGAPI - original, used by the Maximus BBS and the Squish
 BS> tosser * XMSGAPI - extende msgapi, used by timed
 BS> * SMAPI - small msgapi, used by the husky project.

 BS> If i would like to run the Squish tosser, HTick from the
 BS> husky project and timed, it would require 3 different msgapis
 BS> :/
