It's upto you if you want to spend the time doing it... This was just a test to see if fmail etc, would
even compile and run...
Talsiman's tosser works fine. The only thing I wish it did was toss the messages into the msg base in
date order. The point system doesn't have a set poll schedule.
WV> Does your compiler/environment have endian.h ?
Yes, it is after all Debian Linux M68K:
vk3heg@a3000:~/source/pktview$ whereis endian.h
endian.h: /usr/include/endian.h
