BR>> The *OLD* set, now there is only one program :) It's amazing what
BR>> one can do with a Windows program (32-bit and 64-bit, it does
BR>> both) and Gigabytes of RAM, vice the ever humble DOS environment
BR>> {chuckle}
BM> Ahhhh.... even more intriging!!  You've piqued my interest even
BM> more!!!
BM> Shall there also be a linux flavor?

I wish {chuckle} though there IS a freeware Basic that cross-compiles for
Windows, OSX and Linux (QB64) but I don't use it ... sorry. If you know someone

that does, when I'm done with my program, I may release the source if you want
to have someone try porting PB/CC5 to Qb64. :)

Note I am writing a minimal implementation, but one that covers all the bases
needed for the FIDONet Echolist as it exists today. The Import/Export functions

for manipulating multiple Echobase database files is not available.
