    WV>>> But doing so for the three supported messagebases (msg, hudson,   
    WV>>> jam), is a huge pain in the ass, because the code for these is   
    WV>>> all over the place.   
      
    SW>> It's a chicken & egg issue..   
      
    WV> 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!   
      
    WV> Maybe I'll try to make the pkt code endianess agnostic first. If that   
    WV> works for you I could look at the message base code.   
      
   It's upto you if you want to spend the time doing it... This was just a test   
   to see if fmail etc, would   
   even compile and run...   
      
   Talsiman's tosser works fine. The only thing I wish it did was toss the   
   messages into the msg base in   
   date order. The point system doesn't have a set poll schedule.   
      
    WV> Does your compiler/environment have endian.h ?   
      
   Yes, it is after all Debian Linux M68K:   
      
   vk3heg@a3000:~/source/pktview$ whereis endian.h   
   endian.h: /usr/include/endian.h
