    I miss FD :) Years ago, I also ran FD under OS/2. Well, BBBS is also a netmal attach mailer, so that's something <g> I don't remember if JoHo ever developed a linux version? I seem to think not.

    Take care,

    you are correct... FD is/was only publically available in two flavors, DOS and OS/2... there was a winwhatever flavor being worked on but RL got in the way as
    well as the MFCs and the crap involved to use them... linux wasn't as popular then as it is these days and while there may have been a request or two for a linux version, it was down the list a ways ;)

    Do you think TBBS is worth running ?

    I am curious about it since it used to cost a fortune.
