Yay, FreePascal!

Yep, it's still alive 'n kickin' :-)

Do you think your could would compile under OS/2?

I'm not sure whether it would or not, so I've passed your question on to
the developer for his comments, stay tooooooned.

I have a working FP setup under my ArcaOS/Maximus-based BBS ...

What version of fpc is it?

I could give it a try.

If you, or anyone else, could get it to compile under OS/2 or ArcaOS it
would make me a very very happy man indeed.

Please note: the third-party Indy10 libraries are required but they are
*not* included in the OpenXP source. See 'Readme.txt' in the Indy10
directory of the OpenXP source tarball for instructions on how/where to
get them from and for other important information before attempting to compile the source.

As soon as the developer gets back to me I'll post his comments.

Regards,
Martin

It's 3.2.0 (I think?). It's the latest version, whatever it is.

I'd be happy to try. I am slowly working on moving my BBS to MBSE under
Devuan Linux but I do have ArcaOS to run in a VM as soon as I get around
to it.

Oh, I'm only too familiar with running around chasing down dependencies
for stuff, heh.

As soon as the developer gets back to me I'll post his comments.

Sure thing. If he'd like to contact me directly, my BBS email is sysop@outpostbbs.net.

I am just trying to make more stuff available for more people. :)

Yes, the latest version is 3.2.0 but we're still using 3.0.4, so I'll
contact the developer with a view to upgrading to 3.2.0

The source *is* open source, so please feel free to give it a try :)

Any/all feedback would be appreciated.

Thought you might but I had to mention it if only to save you the bother
of hunting it down.

Sure thing. If he'd like to contact me directly, my BBS email is sysop@outpostbbs.net.

OK, I'll pass your email address on to the developer(Gunter Sandner).

I am just trying to make more stuff available for more people. :)

Excellent attitude, bravo! :)

There's a known connectivity issue between OpenXP and MBSE which has never
been resolved. Unfortunately, I don't remember the exact details now but
someone else in here may have a better memory than I ..... cue August :-)

Is that still an issue today? I have MBSE facing all the networks I carry here and have a point running OpenXP in one of the nets.

Yes, the issue still persists.

If there are any issues I'd be happy to work toward a solution.

Thank you very much for your kind offer.

I have noticed issues with HotdogEd and Aftershock (not critical issues) but I don't know if it's a problem others have encountered or if it's a problem with MBSE. If others are having issues I'd be happy to have a
look and report anything I find with the MBSE team.

Great, keep up the good work :)

Martin
