There's not anything wrong with JAM, is there?

Why not?

I agree that that's sometimes a bit annoying.  Although one gets more er less
used to it after a while.

Oh yes, the famous mecca :)  I wonder if mbse couldn't use something like
that as well.  I'll ask Michiel...

When I chenged to Linux, it didn't exist yet...  And if somebody would be
kind enough to port GIGO [for the Fidonet <-> Internet gating] I might go
back to them.

I don't think that would be very useful.  Nobody uses it any more.  The last
two years I've not seen one single vacancy that asked for Fortran.  Om the
other hand: *if* there would be one, the chance that you would get the job is
quite big.

Groetjes,

          Hans.
