Ok, but what should these ports include? Making one straight over from DOS
InSight isn't hard at all - but it will not work since Arachne for Linux
doesn't download mail (or does it do that now?). Additonally what about
implementing "cid:"? If person A rewrites InSight and person B implements
"cid:" the versions between the OS will not be the same (just like if only
person A works on it and includes cid: in the Linux version).
Secondly WWWMAN is almost ported already (and has been since the first
Linux release, or was it even before?) - was it file://*.extension that was
missing or was it file://*.* ? The person in question is on this list last
I checked so he's free to chime in anytime he wants on how it's
progressing... ;-)
That reminds me, I was the one that should have told you Michael, sorry...
also there's a small bug when it comes to accessing some ftp-servers (now
what server was it that presented the information backwards? "Anonymous"
can perhaps answer that one as well since I can't remember it).
And perhaps most important I think that a note on how comments should be
made should be added to the source zip file (I assume it's the same way
that we that have the source for core.exe are supposed to do).
