   Well, IPRoute also like tiroute gets the IP-Nodes from the nodelist and writes   
   a binkd-compatible list.   
   This is usefull for requests to other node-sysops an for crashing netmail to   
   other systems.

   Ahm, okay. Well, fidopoint deluxe uses some closed source pascal units. Those   
   are not compatible with freepascal nor then lazarus. I've tried to compile the   
   sources, but, as expected, those closed source units aren't available any more.   
   A few years ago I talked with michael about theese problems, and he was not   
   able to correct or fix the code for freepascal. Maybe he didn't wanted, I   
   honesly don't know.   
      
   If somebody has enought time, feel free to port fpd to freepascal. ;-)   
   Probably it might be easyier to write a complete new fpd with lazarus,   
   intended by the original fpd.   
      
   My personal skills are more with c than pascal. I'm able to patch and correct   
   some lines, but I haven't enough time to do some more on the code.   
   Obviously, the old fpd runs on win10,win7-32/64 and all other windows   
   platforms. Currently this should be enough.
