   Hello Wilfred!   
      
   21 Mar 24 08:10, you wrote to me:   
      
    WV>>> Not really. ;-) I think there are more important things on the   
    WV>>> todo list.   
      
    SW>> That's understandable, I doubt you'd have a huge M68K user   
    SW>> base... Mostly a count of 1... #-)   
      
    WV> You are not using it! So 0. ;-)   
      
   Yes. The use case is way out west on a deserted road looking at the ground. &-)   
   Plus see latter in this message.   
      
    SW>> I just looked through what andrew did to add M68K support in   
    SW>> Talisman BBS and it's not just a few lines of code...   
      
    WV> Making the pkt code endianness agnostic isn't a big task. My pktviewer   
    WV> code does it. I wrote it decades ago, so it would compile on both the   
    WV> Amiga and PC. ;-)   
      
   Do you want me to test it? Link to the code?   
      
    WV> But doing so for the three supported messagebases (msg, hudson, jam),   
    WV> is a huge pain in the ass, because the code for these is all over the   
    WV> place.   
      
   It's a chicken & egg issue..   
      
   Magicka supports JAM but is no longer supported.   
   Talisman only supports squish, but is still supported!   
      
   Both compile and work on M68K Linux!
