   It is an OS/2 executible with a sample binkd.cfg and libbz2.dll.   
      
   It's requestable from here as BINKD104.ZIP. I don't have an OS/2 setup so I   
   haven't tried it.

   It's been a long time since I ran OS/2 but even then binkd was my mailer of   
   choice. :)   
      
   That file arrived here in the GFD.FTN.MAIL area in the GFD (German File   
   Distribution) FDN. There are many areas in that FDN for all types of files for   
   OS/2 and is active.   
      
   That is a Fidonet FDN but it's not on the Filegate. If you (or anyone) would   
   like to link for that (or other file/mail areas) we can do that.   
      
    Ttyl :-),
