I've rebuilt KA9Q 2.16d, but all it does is clear the screen and then
lock up (CTRL-ALT-DEL works, but nothing else).  I rebuilt it using the
makefile using BC++ 4.02 and maker - so as not to change the makefile
at all, I did:

    maker INCLUDE=-Iconfig.lge net.exe

which is what building 'net' does anyway (except it uses pamake).  The
exe file is bigger than the released one (426,830 bytes vs. 414,730
bytes for the 'official' one), which may be because I'm using a
different version of the compiler.

What version of BC++ are you using?  Has anyone else had this problem?

Also, looking at the config files I notice that although SLIP is
disabled the Van Jacobson TCP compression for SLIP is on.  Is there some
arcane reason for this?

Incidentally, the reason I wanted to recompile it was to change the NNTP
time it sets back the clock before writing NNTP.DAT.  At the moment it's
2 minutes, but there was talk ages ago (before Malcolm took over
maintaining it) of making this configurable so those of us who use
several news servers (or have non-accurate clocks) could make it larger.
Perhaps this could go back on the "to do" list...
