   Hi Stephen,   
      
   On 2024-03-23 10:36:58, you wrote to me:   
      
    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. ;-)   
      
    SW> 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.   
      
    SW> It's a chicken & egg issue..   
      
   Indeed.   
      
    SW> Magicka supports JAM but is no longer supported.   
    SW> Talisman only supports squish, but is still supported!   
      
    SW> Both compile and work on M68K Linux!   
      
   Maybe I'll try to make the pkt code endianess agnostic first. If that works   
   for you I could look at the message base code.   
      
   Does your compiler/environment have endian.h ?   
      
      
   Bye, Wilfred.
