It sure will make a great       fall-back plan B for me, if my original plan of bringing good-old OS/2       Warp 4.5.2 back to life will fail.              So far I gathered almost all necessary components like binkD for OS/2,       FastEcho/2 and FleetStreet for OS/2 (yay! that was the best editor back       in the day). I remember that many years ago it wasn't too hard for me to       configure all that config files by myself, FE even had a some sort of GUI       setup tool. The only thing is that I never used binkD before, as I was       using T-Mail and sometimes Argus with dialup modem, but I am sure I will       figure it out, may be with some help from the community.              Best regards,       Roma       --- Platinum Xpress/Win/WINServer v3.0pr5        * Origin: Fido Since 1991 | QWK by Web | BBS.DOCSPLACE.ORG (1:123/140)    |
