subject: another FidoNet message reader

Hi All,

Slightly off-topic, but I've started work on a Windows GUI FidoNet mail
reader. So far the best name I can come up with is "FidoEdit", so
if you can think of a better name let me know!  It is essentially already
working as a basic message reader for Squish message bases (it uses
XMSGAPI), although at the moment the message areas are hard-coded.  I will
write code to read HPT and SquishMail config files later this week. 
There's a screenshot of it at:

It is written in C++ using Borland C++ Builder 6.0 so should easily port to
Linux using Kylix 3.0.  I have Kylix Open Edition 3.0 but I don't have a
Linux box that will run it adequately.  XMSGAPI will also have to be ported
to Kylix but I don't think this will be a big problem.

I'm not sure how much I'll work on this, but if you're interested and/or you'd
like to contribute somehow, send me a message.  Thanks.

Regards
Andrew
