Subj : Gator source code

In 1994 as a proof-of-concept I wrote some software in Turbo Pascal to 'gate'
FidoNet echomail from one FTN network to another. I called it 'Gator' and used
it to gate echomail between FidoNet and a small "othernet" I was connected to
called The Australian Programmer's Network (or AusPrgNet).

A year later and I had ditched the Pascal programming language entirely in
favour of C, and I chose to rewrite Gator in C, for DOS and OS/2. However
evidently I never finished rewriting it!

Some 17 years later I stumbled across it again, and am now releasing the source
code "as-is". Maybe it will be of use to someone, if only for the historical
value.

Note that this is unfinished code. In hindsight some of it is rather poorly
written or convoluted. On the other hand it's probably better quality than most
of the Pascal code that preceeded it.

Note also that there is basically zero documentation. The supplied example
gator.cfg file may give you some clues, but the documentation basically is the
source code at this point.

All the source code is now placed in the public domain. You can do what you
like with it.

It is available via SVN using the command:

 svn co svn://svn.ozzmosis.com/gator

Andrew
