   MSGID/REPLY threading worked well in the original 1.11 release on DOS & OS/2.   
      
   I can't vouch for the Linux port of Squish. I don't think it got a lot of   
   testing. Among other things you might have C structure alignment/padding   
   inconsistencies on ARM that weren't present on the i386 build.   
      
   I recall Bob Jones disappeared from Fido only a few years after porting   
   Maximus (which included Squish) to Linux in 2003.   
      
   Maybe it was Scott Dudley in disguise! Probably not.   
      
   These days I think everyone using Squish bases on Linux/BSD are using Husky's   
   HPTLINK. I vaguely recall HPTLINK is a bit more intelligent than SQUISH LINK   
   anyway.
