No but I figured I would be purchasing the license for it if permitted. Why not? :) I did ask Santronics about it but only told it is no longer supported (PxWin that is) due to lack of interest.

DOS still lives

FD/IM/GECHO etc etc all still live.

Why run on a Tandy but someone does. Its the fun in playing with the old systems. <evil grin>

Yeah - by their corporate customers and not by their hobbyist customers.
I know that there have been those of us who have offered to buy the rights
to the source code to PX/Wins to keep it updated, but Hector either refuses
or just doesn't answer his emails.

Hey, one of my other systems is a Telegard/2 system running under ArcaOS
5.0.2 Professional :) It's even accessable via telnet and has the latest FrontDoor for OS/2 picking up the calls and transferring them to TG/2 :)

Yes it does but I did email them to ask them and the response I got was it is no longer supported due to lack of interest or something like that. I did ask about my upgrade to Win7 and got the price but I asked again about PXWIN again but have not heard from them yet.

Also if you look at some parts of their web site, has not been updated in many years and others show 2018.

Will see what they respond with. If they do not respond about PXWin, I am fine
with that and I do understand it is not a money maker compared to WinServer. If not available, its not available. I really do not need to have it but I collect systems and compare them.

Thanks for the info.

Yeah, but that's all the more reason to get rid of the excess baggage though and let someone else worry about picking up development that still has interest
in the product. Last I understood, they were planning on opensourcing wcBASIC/wcCODE. If that comes to fruition or not, that remains to be seen.

It would be nice if they'd release the sources to Wildcat! v3 and earlier too.

I agree.

So, just reinstalled WINServer 6.4 as 7 was giving me too many problems.
Have not put any of my mods in place and now I see why I made as many modifications as I did :) Yellow -- yuck!!!

I would be open to paying 49-79 bucks for a supported fidonet product from you.

If a supported PX/WIN lead to 10% more sales it should of been appreciated.

A tossser and file proccessor can be done with WCBASIC/WCCODE. We dont really need a BinkP server.

Enter FidoCat -- a project that does (or was supposed to do) just this. Unfortunately, the person that was supposed to help me work on it never really contributed much code and the project is stalled for now.

Well I did send an email to Hector to see what it would take to take to take over PXWIN. There is no money to be made really from it but I would do it for the fun. Not sure they would even really consider it but we will see.

In the meantime, I found my older WinToss code that was written back in the 90's that worked under 16 bit windows, I am now updating the code to work under
32/64 bit windows. I have WC5 so going to see about getting it working with it
first and go from there.

More on this later but I do have a day job so I work as time allows.

You are correct, someone did send me a copy of what looks like a tosser but I have not looked into it yet. Mailer not really needed since there are ones out
there that work just fine.
