   Hello Anthony,

   I am afraid not.   
      
   Charles is nodelisted as 1:340/0 and 1:340/806, but there is no point in   
   netmailing him. Over the years I have attempted to get in touch with him in   
   various capacities. As a registered Irex user, as a fellow sysop and as FTSC   
   member. To no avail, he does not respond.   
      
   It is painfully obvious that Charles has lost interest in Fidonet in general   
   and in Irex in particular. That happens. We live, learn and turn and while we   
   do, we shift priorities. No problem.   
      
   What I do have a problem with is that he sits on the source. Assuming he still   
   has it of course. Many programmers who lost interest and left Fidonet have   
   released the source of their product into the public domain. Golded and Fmail   
   come to mind. That way their products live on and benefit the Fidonet   
   community.   
      
   But Charles just sits on it. :-(

   Forget it. The last release was over 7 years ago. Nothing has happened since.   
   I have given up. What we need is IPv6 support and this is obviously not going   
   to happen. I'v had a lot of fun with Irex, but now is the time to say goodbye.   
   I am looking for an alternative - one that WILL support Ipv6 - and when I   
   found it, I will dump Irex.   
      
      
   Cheers, Michiel
