   Status   
   ------   
      
   The software timEd, NetMgr and WIMM have all been ported to UNIX.  In   
   years gone by these programs were distributed as shareware by Gerard   
   van Essen under the name 'Artware', however in late 2000 they were   
   released as open source under the GNU General Public Licence (GPL) and   
   uploaded to http://www.nicestories.com/fidonet/ (last accessed   
   2013-09-20).   
      
   Most of the work porting timEd to UNIX was done by Oliver Grimm.    
   Currently the Windows port of timEd is only stable, and semi-usable,   
   when compiled using Cygwin.  To date there has been no attempt to port   
   it back to OS/2 or DOS.  Contributions are welcome though!  The latest   
   version is stable under Linux, FreeBSD, BeOS and Mac OS X.   
      
   WIMM should compile under Windows, UNIX, OS/2, BeOS & 32-bit DOS.   
   There has been a report of instability under 32-bit DOS, but this   
   cannot be replicated by me.  It has been stable under FreeBSD during   
   testing.   
      
   NetMgr is the most recent port, thanks to Bo Simonsen.  Currently it   
   only compiles under UNIX (Linux/FreeBSD) and BeOS.  It will probably   
   also compile under Cygwin.  It won't compile out of the box for OS/2,   
   Windows or 32-bit DOS using Watcom, but shouldn't need too much work   
   to make this possible.  It has been stable under FreeBSD and BeOS   
   during testing, but has not been exhaustively tested.   
      
   All three require the latest version of XMSGAPI if you wish to compile   
   from source.  XMSGAPI is a port of the Squish MSGAPI written by Scott   
   Dudley and released under the GNU Lesser Public Licence.   
      
      
   Downloading   
   -----------   
      
   An anonymous SVN server has been set up for timEd, WIMM, NetMgr and   
   XMSGAPI.  If you have a command-line SVN client installed you can   
   retrieve the latest version of the timEd source code using the   
   following command:   
      
   svn co svn://svn.ozzmosis.com/timed   
      
   For WIMM, NetMgr and XMSGAPI, replace 'timed' with 'wimm', 'netmgr' or   
   'xmsgapi':   
      
   svn co svn://svn.ozzmosis.com/wimm   
   svn co svn://svn.ozzmosis.com/netmgr   
   svn co svn://svn.ozzmosis.com/xmsgapi

   ------------   
      
   You can make changes to the source code or documentation of any of   
   these programs and have it incorporated into the main SVN repository.
