If something won't work with tiroute and        TB> fido deluxe, send me a detailed bugreport, and I will fix/change it.              OK, thanks for that.              However, the included version of BinkD is *very* old(0.9.7), so I've replaced       it in my own setup with a newer version(1.1a-49). As I'm a bit "rusty" with       BinkD, I'm not sure if I actually need any of these utilities at all.              [..]        MF>> As the author's website seems to have disappeared, I've made Fido        MF>> Package Deluxe(along with the source) available from here:        MF>> http://fidonet.openxp.uk/fpd        TB> Have yo compiled a win10 version with the sources?              Having had a look at the .dof files, it looks as though the original was       compiled with Delphi. As I'm not a programmer, I wouldn't know where to start       with setting up a more modern build environment(Lazarus perhaps?). So, the       answer to your question is "no".              Regards,       Martin              --- WinPoint Beta 5 (359.1)        * Origin: Bitz-Box - Bradford - UK (2:250/1.1)    |
