    rc> WWIV just released an update that added native OS/2 support back.   
      
    rc> https://github.com/wwivbbs/wwiv/releases/tag/wwiv_5.7.1 is the URL to   
    rc> download it. and http://docs.wwivbbs.org is the documentation.   
      
    rc> It's new OS/2 code, so possibly buggy, consider it alpha quality, but   
    rc> it seems to work well, and works with the telnet server (wwivd) just   
    rc> like Windows and Linux does.   
      
   I just installed this on arca... I am curious tho, what message format does it   
   support? squish jam?  I already have a hpt/binkd set up on that machine would   
   just like to continue using that with the wwiv bbs? Any idea if that is   
   possible?
