    From Matt Munson@1:218/109 to All on Sun Jun 12 16:06:40 2016


    I am hoping for Nick Andre to make a release that merges the best of
    Internet Rex with his mailer. Id even give him 10-20 usd for his work.

    it seems to me that dbridge already fits that bill... what do you think is missing that can't already be done with debridge or other existing software that works quite well with any FTN mailer or tosser???

    Sort of. I'm using it here under dosbox on a Fedora host OS, and if
    I reboot to windows 10 I can do the same.

    * dependency on external programs
    * incompatablity with 64bit is another aspect

    Hi Joe!

    Monday June 13 2016 you wrote to me the following:

    I know it works in Windows 32 bit
    Just for clarification: it works as native Win32 application, or in MS DOS window?

    Shorter: does D'Bridge support, for example, long file names?

    It is still mainly a DOS program optimize to work in 32 bit Windows, so yes it sits in a Command Window


    Shorter: does D'Bridge support, for example, long file names?


    I think that is on the To Do list but not sure.
