That would explain a lot! I've actually just slurped the \c\ group of
files just so I can search and view them faster than the WWW or ftp
clients can. I hope nobody minds. Heck, I've got enough storage to spare
to archive the entire site I think, but that might not be a good idea...

Don't apologise, I'm rusty as well. I'm still figuring out the bloody
parameter strings for TurboDOS, let alone the M80/L80 progs...
I've actually tried building the TP4KER source from Terje Mathiesen's
source, but it depends on some object files that my TP5/6/7 system
doesn't have. Definitely a blast from the past, remembering how to build
and compile to disk!
And don't get me started with debugging - that was my life back then and
I can't believe how much we've come to rely on integrated debuggers -
Allah forfend, I was putting printf() and Writeln() and .printx
statements all through the source files I've found. There's definitely a
lot to be said for modern debuggers. Still, it's all good fun.
If I can't compile the MASM/LASM source, I'll definitely sit down in
front of my emulated local CP/M window and do what I should have done in
the beginning - rolled my own clunky serial transfer code. Sometimes
shortcuts definitely AIN'T.
Thanks all for your help, I'll keep looking and trying I guess.
