 rc> WWIV just released an update that added native OS/2 support back.

 rc> https://github.com/wwivbbs/wwiv/releases/tag/wwiv_5.7.1 is the URL to
 rc> download it. and http://docs.wwivbbs.org is the documentation.

 rc> It's new OS/2 code, so possibly buggy, consider it alpha quality, but

I just installed this on arca... I am curious tho, what message format does it support? squish jam?  I already have a hpt/binkd set up on that machine would just like to continue using that with the wwiv bbs? Any idea if that is possible?
