No, you don't understand that you can't simply just compile a Win32 program
under OS/2 without some major changes and possibly being unable to do it.
Please don't assume that it's just something "simple". Just because you lack
the knowledge to do it doesn't mean you have to rip on those of who do.
Don't burn your bridges by insulting us-your ignorance is showing.
If you like Win32 BBSes, then run Synchronet-it has lots of support and a lot
of people are running it. If you run an OS/2 native BBS, expect to support
yourself and not get much help. I've been running OS/2 since 1996 and I can
tell you that it's not anything like running a BBS under Windows. You get more
stability and speed, but in turn, it's harder to set up and you have to know
more about tweaking your system.
