  • binkp for Mac

    From mark lewis@1:3634/12 to Doug Mccomber on Sunday, January 15, 2012 15:18:59

    Does anyone know of a mailer that uses binkp over TCP/IP for Mac OS (specifically 7.6.1 era Mac OS)?

    that would be binkd ;)

    Hi Mark,

    I don't think so. I have never found a version of binkd for any version of Mac OS pre-OS X. Unless you know of one?

    Regards,
    Doug

    i don't "do" mac products so, no... i don't know of one specifically... however, since binkd is available as source and it has been recently 'ported' to the amiga platform, it should be relatively easy enough to do for someone with that development environment...

    i'm assuming that OS/X is their take-off of the BSD-type stuff they are now using??
