- I have just uploaded a new revision of the Unix ort of Binkley, a
- fidonet mailer ported to Unix by Ben Stuyts with a number of Linux
- changes by me. This release should now work on both the Next and Linux.
- Compared to the previous release a number of bugs have been fixed:
- - Janus works now (Janus is a bi-directional protocol)
- - Binkley had some bugs in the termio stuff, so the 4.3.3 library
- caused some problems
- - Timing did not work right
- - probably a lot more that I can not remeber right now.
-
- Binkley works quite nicely with my port of Rfmail. So If you have
- news and mail setup, adding fido capabilities to your system
- is easy. Documentation is not included in the archive, if a lot
- of people need it, I'll try to get hold of it. You should try to
- get the docs of the Atari-ST version of Binkley, as that was used as
- base for this port.
-
- I uploaded binkley to tsx-11.mit.edu (not to other sites, our ftp
- connection is quite (not to say very) slow right now.
- Look for binkley at:
- tsx-11.mit.edu:/pub/linux/sources/bt302PL10.tar.gz
- It should appear there quite soon.
-
- Cheers, Louis
