Maybe Chris can change his mind after all these years? Opensource has a much bigger impact in the world today, then it used to have when you took over. Have you asked him lately?

That's theory ... now on to the real world ...
Hi everyone, lets get our harmonicas ready as I'm afraid I'm
singing the blues.... but no, I will not share the booze in the
brown paper bag.
D'Bridge 4 is in total limbo at this point. I'm too busy with a
school course which I'm beginning to regret enrolling in, and
holding down two jobs and raising the munchkin - Who may soon be
the youngest RC/NC in Fidonet as I am giving serious consideration
to letting her run my mail-hub system.
I had a phone call with Chris Irwin, the original author, and we
both agree that the code may not be possible to port over to a
"modern" compiler; because there is a LOT of code specifically
written for MS-DOS and the IBM PC/XT.
I managed to get DBUTIL compiled for Linux and Windows 32/64-bit,
but the mailer, editor, nodelist compiler, etc. makes heavy use of
a third-party library called Turbopower. The database code would
need a complete overhaul to say nothing about all of the
assembler-code for EMSI/Zmodem, dialup, etc.
Its one of these things that needs time and perhaps someone to help
me port the code over, if possible. I've contemplated paying
someone to rewrite some of the stuff just to get the ball rolling,
but not sure.
The program means so much to so many people, but I cannot trust
anyone else to work on it; nor can I open-source it as I made a gentlemans-agreement with Chris never to do so.

I seem to have that is use with FileMgr but do not have all of the source libraries that I would
need to convert over to fpc.

Its not that black and white.
Users tend to fall in love with their programs. Its hard to keep that
love when someone forks it, changes or remove functionality without reason, doesn't understand that the "quirks" are there for a reason,
or generally doesn't care about the users.

I don't think you have to worry about that in todays fidonet. My experience with Binkd, Golded and FMail, all opensource, is excelent.
But you are not answering my questions? ;)
What questions?

Whats funny is that scientists have recently discovered that there are three different variations of the female orgasm.
Theres the positive orgasm. Oh yes, oh yes.
Theres the religious orgasm. Oh god, oh god.
And then theres the fake orgasm. Oh Wilfred, Oh Wilfred.
Yes, funny... But you still not answering the question.
asYes, funny... But you still not answering the question.
Yes I spoken with Chris recently, in the last couple months I believe.
No, I did not ask to open-source D'Bridge. I had no desire to then, just
I had no desire to in 2005.
One is Turbopower's B-Tree ISAM library for the nodelist compiler, the other is TPCRT to replace the standard CRT library.
It doesn't hurt to ask again, peoples opinions change...

Also, some friendly advice: one must take care not to upset the
moderator.
