Hi! Wilfred,

You're sick & twisted, just like me.  I was expecting the same thing. :)

No improvement.  I took the binaries to my test vBox, did a 'blind' install of 
the libc.so.6 package available for Puppy (i.e. not knowing if it was already 
installed).  Then rebooted (eek! it's second reboot in a year!).  Re-ran 
"./fmail[Enter]" and this time got two error lines. The first error referred to 
libc.so.6 as being from GLIBC 2.7 and then the second error as for the first, 
above.

I suspect a glitch in your 64-bit configs but take that with a grain of salt, 
as I am not even a 'novice' in such things.  I'm hanging out for a makefile 
solution, for a local build.  I've already been working on solutions for my 
predicament since March last year.  I can wait.  :)

I may try another vBox of a more modern OS but that be months away...

Cheers,
Paul.
