    AI> That is very good news andrew, thank you for your work on this.   
      
   It's good to see there's still some interest.   
      
   Getting Gerard's original code working (and not the UNIX port, which I didn't   
   initiate but later became the maintainer of) is something I started working on   
   years ago but abandoned because I kept hitting roadblocks.   
      
   This time around I took a fresh approach and it's been working well.   
      
   Oddly, I've had a few years break from doing pretty much any coding at all,   
   which may have helped in a strange way.   
      
   It was a nice feeling finishing off the NT port! Gerard actually had most of   
   the Windows code written but some of it wasn't working correctly. For any   
   coders reading this, most of that was down to structure misalignment.

   Going by your tearline I'm assuming you're running Linux.   
      
   I haven't tested it but the Windows version of timEd should work well under   
   WINE, although console apps in WINE don't look the best and I'm not sure the   
   user has any control over what display font it uses.   
      
   In any case today I began porting the original code to BSD & Linux, without   
   the XMSGAPI dependency that the old UNIX port had. This will mean the BSD &   
   Linux version will finally support Hudson, JAM, Squish and *.MSG. Stay tuned.   
   :)
