i've wrote myself a fsxnet oneliner/lastcaller door under os/2 for my maximus.

Maximus' MEX and under the hood it's a big mess of spaghetti code of php, batch files, with gnu utilities like sed, cat, ls, etc.. plus utilities like SendMSG/2 and MX (a message extraction util for Squish).

it would be much authentic to write it in REXX instead of php+gnu utils, but my REXX knowledge is small for this.
