Hello world!

Three days after the announcement of the source code of new versions of the 
Husky software, we are now announcing binary releases for OS/2 and Win32 of 
those tools, including the hpt tosser, the htick ticker, and the nltools 
nodelist updating tools. This is the first time that we officially cover 
non-Unix platforms with stable binary releases.

Husky is a joint effort of over a dozen developers from Germany, Russia and all 
over the world to develop a completely free, open-sourced and portable fidonet 
software suite. Husky currently runs on Linux, FreeBSD and many other free and 
commercial Unix systems, and also on OS/2, Windows and DOS.

(N.B.: Please note that in the announcement of source code, there was an error: 
The current version number of fidoconfig is 0.10, not 0.9. So the correct 
filename is fidoconf-0.10-src.tar.gz. Sorry for the inconvenience).

But now for the newly released binary packages:
