As of version 97/12/30 MCUT for LinuX includes the MCUT-BBS system.
It is still very buggy and not very well tested, but it should work.
Currently you can not do compressed store and forward, because I have
to port our LZH-Compressor. But FBB-like ASCII-batch-forward works.
News: As of 1998 I adopted the standard lzhuf.c to my needs. So 
FBB-Forward works, but scrambles the screen a bit. Feel free to fix that,
the source is at sun01.idf.uni-heidelberg.de.
Checking of PGP-Signatures scrambles the screen too. The right way to
call pgp would be popen() and inserting the output to the buffer.
For BBS-operation grep box.tgz and unpack it in ~/.mcut/box. it contains
the (German) language-files, the compressors, the file bcmd and some
example configuration.


Here an example box.cfg-file:
---
sf_call = dg4iad-15
sf_hierach = .DB0LJ.#RPL.DEU.EU
sf_info = Mannheim-Ost JN49GL
sf_with_all_stn = y
db0_mybbs = n
sf_ab_kbytes = 500
third_party = y
user_lt = 999
---
See the MCUT-Homepage at
http://home.pages.de/~1409/
for details about the box-configuration.

Be aware that you may get segfaults. If you do, please debug:
start MCUT using: gdb mcut, then type r (for run).
When MCUT crashes, type "bt" at the (gdb) prompt and send the output to
me (hpz@gmx.net). Thank you.

Known Bugs:
lots, mostly keyboard/screen-related. May be it will be better with
a current FPK-Rtl from tflily.fys.kuleuven.ac.be, no time to try it.


I do not upload the sources today, as I use a modified runtime-library for
FPK-Pascal and I like to wait until my changes appear in the official FPK
version. The current FPK can't compile MCUT. If you really want the 
current source-code (perhaps to make it work under DOS again ;-), drop me
a note.

News: The new sources are here. They may compile or not, I dont know.
You are at your own. I have currently no spare time to continue work
on MCUT. There are plans for an OS/2-Port. contact Mike, 
dl8zlg@db0saw.#saa.deu.eu if you like to help.

MCUT should now work with (WA8DED-) TNCs, there is no need to use "stty" to
configure the Modem-Port. I have tested it with my old TNC2S (TF 2.3).

Have Fun, Hans-Peter
