If it had been straightforward to build from the same source tree I
would have included it.  I won't commit myself at the moment but I
would like to include it (not least because a POP3 client would
fit in nicely with some bits and pieces of junk mail filtering I've
been prototyping).


I've uploaded the source to the same places (gnos-01s.zip), unzip with 
-d to preserve the directories for each build's config.h.  I've 
included the Makefile I'm currently using (handles multiple builds,
only builds the minimum set of objs required for the DIS net.exe, 
dynamically builds the lib contents) but figuring out how to drive it 
is left as an exercise for the reader^Wseasoned hacker.

I only know of one problem so far - the TextWin versions will crash on
window scrolling if the session emulation is set to anything other
than tty.  This appears to be down to me adding the -Oc compiler
optimization option (common subexpressions within basic blocks) and
one of the TW modules takes a dislike to it.

By popular request, John's HTTP client will be included in the next
version along with a handful of other minor improvements (and possibly
a major one for those who run mailing lists and have lost mail in the
void that is occasionally post.d.c.u).

Cheers, Graham.
