      MSGID: 1:18/200 5f8d7939       REPLY: 1:153/757.2 4ffaaf78       CHRS: IBMPC 2       Hello Alan,              Saturday October 17 2020 18:46, you wrote to Matt Munson:               AI> I've never tried to build anything for an android so I don't know how        AI> much of a leap that is.              Android apps are written in Java which means Syncterm and Multimail would have       to be rewritten in Java.              There is already an excellent term program called fTelnet, which is available       in the Google Play store, that works well for telneting to a BBS.              As for Multimail, that might take a considerable amount of work since it       depends on other programs (such as zip and unzip and an external editor) to be       ported. It would be better if someone wrote an Android-specific mail reader.              Now I do know that in newer Chromebooks, a Linux VM is included so you can run       native Linux programs. This is like the WSL in Windows 10.              Later,       Sean              --- GoldED/2 3.0.1        * Origin: Outpost BBS * bbs.outpostbbs.net:10123 (1:18/200)       SEEN-BY: 1/123 18/200 90/1 120/340 123/131 129/305 226/30 227/114       SEEN-BY: 229/101 275 424 426 452 550 664 1016 240/5832 249/206 317       SEEN-BY: 249/400 317/3 322/757 342/200 633/280       PATH: 18/200 229/426           |
