Thanks for the clarification, either way, 0.9.11 is even much older than 1.0.4. 
So in the case of what I was referring to, it would still apply that he's going 
off of some really old code that hasn't been updated to fix the issue yet.

Very true. Although if I were any kind of programmer, that would probably be 
one of my weak spots as well. :)

Whatever language barrier is also in place, could also pose a bit of a problem 
(even though I've communicated with most of the current developers of both 
binkd and the husky sources, at one point or another), but I don't think that's 
a major part of it.

If they'd like to give out CVS access to someone with the ambition to do so, 
someone could easily update the documentation to reflect compiling the current 
husky sources (I think all that needs to be added is that huskylib needs to be 
compiled first), as well as binkd's sources and help file.

Regards,
Nick
