Again, I realize this is an old message, but I feel compelled to clarify the
matter:

The 16-bit OBJ file that was included without source was for the DOS version
of SBBS.EXE only. The C source code for a 32-bit version of this same library
is included in the source (riolib.c) and was used to build the OS/2 and Win32
versions of SBBS. A port to a 32-bit compiler was more than "possible", it was
already done for you (the released source code compiled successfully with
Borland C++ for OS/2 and Borland C++ for Win32).

Porting to a non-Borland compiler was also very "possible" (without any
additional source code), as I, myself, recently ported the code to Microsoft
Visual C++ (32-bit) without much effort. The code I ported I got from
SBBS_SRC.ZIP (just like anyone else could have).
