It does not seem as easy as I had hoped.

I found the binkd FAQ to be confusing. Having never used CVS I am unsure if I
need to install something first, and which of many lines stated I need to
run, yet alone how to build it afterwards. I am new to this so I guess that's
why.

I found a number of the sites that stated they had binkd files were quite
dated, then there were a ton of 2020-ish files all for windows and os2

A github link didn't look that fresh either, I guess there may be some other
git site I can clone then build from?

Going to bed now... head hurts :)
