   Yeah that site especially the English side, seems to be stuck in a time warp   
   (Yeah, I know.. Fido itself is.. but..I find my self more at "home" here than   
   other methods.)

   Which is why there is no docs since its all in some gibberish... Yes I know   
   its Russian..

   Well that wasn't particullary aimed at YOU.... more to these "developers'   
   running around that think everyone lives in that world.

   There are similar "warnings."   
      
   To me that means you failed the assignment! As when I compiled my PASCAL stuff   
   for my CS class... I had to provide the source and the compiled program and   
   those warnings would have be an F! Even if it runs.. warnings are not a "Clean   
   compile" thus Here's your F!   
      
    Like I said it appears to have created stuff that runs... but having to slog   
   through a LACK OF DOCUMENTATION, and what does exist that reads like WAH WAHH   
   WAHH WAHHH..   
      
   I think I am going to take and scp over PKT's as backup once I get an official   
   node and running to test things with in a VM.. Then I'll determine which route   
   I go stay with crashmail which seems to make more sense to me.. or something   
   else...
