   i don't know of such a thing as "the MAGIC USABLE version"... for instance...   
      
      1. i don't need the ssl capabilities that were added at one point and   
   numerous other bugs cleaned.   
      2. i added the ability to turn off rDNS lookups and log only the IPs.   
      3. i changed the identifier for OS/2 systems to be "OS2" instead of just   
   "2" to conform more to how other OSes are depicted.   
      4. the compile i use uses the original jamlib instead of the SMAPI or MAPI   
   libraries as some others have done.   
      5. my version ids itself (currently) as 1.21 with a beta number as well as   
   a system id showing that it is my own build.   
      6. there was a fix wherein min and max were reversed in the 'list of news   
   groups' output.   
      7. i fixed a bug in the xoverres output wherein it was missing the last \t   
   which caused some news clients to error out.   
      8. i know that some of us have increased POST_MAXSIZE so that larger   
   messages may be posted.   
      9. there was something else i was going to implement but i don't recall it   
   without looking back in the echo at my posts.   
     10. fixes from other folks that i just don't recall at the moment.   
      
   i think i started with 1.3 but that doesn't explain why my version number is   
      
     JamNNTPd/OS2 1.21.b9/wpusa   
      
   1.21 being the operative portion... i'm going to guess that it is because i   
   started this round with version 1.20 and incremented it by 0.01 as my first   
   update to this version and b9 indicating my 9th beta of it...

   AFAIK, most of us started there... i really don't recall where i pulled my   
   last up-to-date sources from before i added my fixes from above... i think it   
   was the ftnapps repo on sourceforge...   
      
   [time passes]   
      
   yes, my last update was jamnntpd-1.2.tar.gz from ftnapps at sourceforge...   
   IIRC, that's RJ Clay's repo... he is the Region 11 Coordinator in fidonet...   
      
   [/time passes]   
      
    RC> Is the only MAGIC WORKING version.   
      
   there is no "only MAGIC WORKING version" AFAIK... they all work... some better   
   than others... it depends on the JAM library used and which version of that   
   selected... i just stick with the original jamlib, though...   
      
    RC> As per the other reply that the eljaco.se site is the golden resource

   now why would you do that? destroying someone else's hard work and effort?   
   that's going to upset folks if you cause their repo and folks feeding from it   
   to be removed... especially for working code... why? you have heard of   
   collaborative development, right? i develop on my system as i don't have a   
   repo there... i can set one up on my linux box which i could then update from   
   my production box's updates... but for now i post patches in this echo so   
   others can patch theirs if they want to... if they don't, that's their   
   business but don't be going and having someone else's repos removed or killed   
   off because you don't think they're up to snuff by your standards...
