Hey Ben!   
      
    BR> My topdir is c:\cygwin and build dir is c:\cygwin\fnet\???   
      
   Sounds like a plan.  Looking froward to hearing how that works out   
   with respect to the Husky Project stuff.  I think that experience   
   would make an excellent basis for a husky-cygwin.sh script.  Might be   
   great value in having something like that kicking around.   
      
    MK> (two digit year and all) then I say it is a go.   
      
    BR> Works fine, we're a go ! {chuckle}   
      
   Heh, heh.  Unbelievable.  Also try;   
      
     echo "MSGID: 1:393/68 $(printf "%08x" $(date +%s))"   
      
   Does that look usable for a MSGID generator on your end?  Won't take   
   much to add the leading 0x01 to make it an official FTN compliant   
   MSGID in a bash script.   
      
   Life is good,   
   Maurice
