   Hey, that's good..   
      
   I don't know since I've never tried it...... but I've heard from some people   
   that I shouldn't bother to run the Linux version of Irex.. It's got too many   
   bugs...so I haven't.   
      
   I can understand that... even BBBS has has  serious security bugs.. but Kim   
   Heino, the author of BBBS fixed those bugs.. after all, we paid $$ for this   
   software..   
      
   I think that's all Sean is saying.. but I'll let him speak for himself .. that   
   either Charles might fix those bugs, or if he's given up, let the source loose   
   if he still has it so.. we can fix it.   
      
   No one said that Charles HAD to release the source .. at least not that I saw.   
      
   Take care,   
   Janis
