i had to leave the EMX ones alone when i figured out they were causing problems 
with my allfix on the DOS side... my allfix is the one for all OSes... when 
binkd2e was running, allfix would just freeze like it was waiting for some lock 
to be released... i discovered this years ago when i killed binkd in the 
process of doing an orderly shutdown to clear the frozen allfix... when i 
killed binkd, allfix suddenly woke up and ran on through its job... once that 
mail toss was complete, i tested again and sure enough, binkd2e running stopped 
AF in its tracks... close binkd2e and allfix worked as desired... at some point 
i switched to only using allfix on the native os2 side... i think that was due 
to drive space checking problems that 2gbfix wasn't able to correct for 
allfix... anyway that's when i tried the watcom flavor of binkd... i don't 
recall what problems i had with them but i finally ended up with the klibc ones 
which have always worked as long as i had the necessary libcxxx dll files... i 
need those libcxxx files with other tools on my os/2 ecs system but this is the 
very first one that needed libc066... so far, so good ;)
