Hi Charlie
Where did you see that MSYS was updated? I just did a search on the web and 
don't see any updates to it.

If you are talking about the message that I put out about the NEW bbs 
program, that is being built from scratch and will start out as a win32 
program. It will be using code from fbb and rebbs as those are the only 
programs that I was able to get the source code for. I asked and tried to 
get the MSYS code and was turned down. We have NO idea what this program is 
going to be called. I'm going to leave that up to the code writer as he is 
the one that is doing all the work.

I will take ideas for a name and pass them along so Jeff can have some 
ideas. But if Jeff just wants to use his call or something like that then 
so be it....I just can't wait to get a before alpha copy to play 
with...This should be soon (could be several months) I guess that would be 
soon in code time.
