Nah, I think I was just focused on making it portable to windows this time, and didn't think about anything other than windows and linux.

I've spun up a qemu-m68k vm here, and done some work in a branch called "bigendian"

There should be enough to get it going with husky now, but I haven't tested that.

There's a lot more to do, for example, QWK and Bluewave probably wont work, QWK networking, WWIV networking and Postie probably wont work, binki might, but i'm not sure on that.

the squish code is shared amoungst the different programs so that side of thing should work, it mostly just interfacing with various packet formats now.

if you want to try it out / follow what i'm doing just issue 'git checkout bigendian' after doing a clone and that will set you on the branch.
