Hi Mark,   
      
   > what's the latest version of makenl-ng available for linux?   
      
   This is the latest for linux, with a binary _in_ the archive:   
      
   http://www.filegate.net/coordutl/MN346LNX.ZIP   
      
   But - I usually grab the source and compile it on my linux box rather than use   
   the binary in MN346LNX.ZIP.   
      
   You can grab the source file here if you like,   
     http://www.filegate.net/coordutl/MN346SRC.ZIP (source archive!)   
      
   > do i need to download the latest repository version and build it for x86_64?   
   > what problems might i face? (eg: problem detecting newest DOY file)   
      
   It's pretty easy to build the binary from the source, I do it everytime a new   
   version comes out.   
   First I make a clean directory where I can work:   
      
   mkdir newnmsource   
   cd newnmsource   
   unzip /home/ftp/pub/coordutl/MN346SRC.ZIP   
      
   make -f makefile.linux   
      
   === results you'll see:   
   bbs@filegate:~/newnmsource/makenl-3.4.6/src$ make -f makefile.linux gcc -Wall   
   -W -c config.c   
   gcc -Wall -W -c crc16.c   
   gcc -Wall -W -c fileutil.c
