I have been playing with D'Bridge a little. My Internet Rex has issues working
in my windows 10 VM. Piss me off...
I'm trying to figure out what version of BinkD... there must be 7 or 8
different versions for windows alone... Pearl...
Anyway, would be nice if JoHo made some small changes to FD so that it would
dove tail into Bink a little better. Kinda like what D'Bridge does... A 16bit
Mailer that has code added into it. I know it might be more than that.... But
it can't be that bad
