   Ok, reviewed the code some last night and here are my thoughts:   
      
   It appears it uses the old NetMaster Delphi Components.  Can be swamped out   
   for something more public like Indy.  I have the Netmaster code but it old.   
      
   Also uses ExcMagic which can be removed since it appears the package is not   
   sold or has not been updated in many years and do not see the source.  It   
   apperas to be missing some of the units so have not tried to determine what   
   impact it would have.  It does have a couple of other components that would   
   have to be rebuit if you still wanted some of the same functions that exist   
   today.   
      
   I do see how it calls in the code bink and the golded (both sources are those   
   are also available) but after reviewing it, it would make more sense to write   
   a new one from scratch to take advantage of FPC.
