* An ongoing debate between Bill McGarrity and Ben Ritchey rages on ...   
      
    BR>> The *OLD* set, now there is only one program :) It's amazing what   
    BR>> one can do with a Windows program (32-bit and 64-bit, it does   
    BR>> both) and Gigabytes of RAM, vice the ever humble DOS environment   
    BR>> {chuckle}   
    BM> Ahhhh.... even more intriging!!  You've piqued my interest even   
    BM> more!!!   
    BM> Shall there also be a linux flavor?   
      
   I wish {chuckle} though there IS a freeware Basic that cross-compiles for    
   Windows, OSX and Linux (QB64) but I don't use it ... sorry. If you know   
   someone    
   that does, when I'm done with my program, I may release the source if you want    
   to have someone try porting PB/CC5 to Qb64. :)   
      
   Note I am writing a minimal implementation, but one that covers all the bases    
   needed for the FIDONet Echolist as it exists today. The Import/Export   
   functions    
   for manipulating multiple Echobase database files is not available.
