this is better off in the fidonet BINKD echo ;)

however, generally speaking, you get the archive, unzip it into a directory, set up your config and then run the program pointing it to your config file... on winwhatever, i would place it in one of your user directories so you don't have to worry about file permissions and such...

Thanks Mark I did download binkd11a94-mingw32-ipv6-perldl-zlib for windows but did not come with a config file

On 64bit, you'll have to run a virtual (32bit) machine of some flavour. On 32bit, it will run quite happily.

Not true!

Any of the windows binkd versions will run on 64bit windows. There is even a 64bit version of binkd:

binkd11a94-mingw32-ipv6-perldl-zlib.zip binkd11a94-msvc-4gb-ipv6-static-perl-zlib-bzlib2.zip binkd11a94-msvc-binkd9x-static.zip binkd11a94-msvc10-4gb-ipv6-static-perl-zlib-bzlib2.zip binkd11a94-msvc10x64-4gb-ipv6-static-perl-zlib-bzlib2.zip


Bye, Wilfred.

there are or should already be available 64bit flavor binaries of binkd for all
supported OSes... i compile my own over here and it is definitely 64bit...


binkd-1.1a-92: ELF 64-bit LSB executable, x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked (uses shared libs), for GNU/Linux 2.6.24, BuildID[sha1]=4667403c60c74c1e66b60e033f25a35468cd26fd, stripped


but still, the 32bit flavor of binkd for winwhatever should run just fine on a 64bit flavor of win7... have i missed something? has m$ really turned the screws around on this one?

Nicely done, my good man! But for such a security buff as you are, your kernel version is just a tad out of date. :)

No. 64-bit Windows will most definitely support 32-bit programs. It has only ditched 16-bit support in the 64-bit versions.

Nick

Long term support? Holy crap, how long is your LTS? 2.6x kernels were at *least* 2 years ago or more!

But of course. Obviously my OS of choice is Linux for anything server-wise. But
I still keep up with Windows due to a bad COD addiction. :) And for the records, Win10 is awesome compared to Win8. So you're safe to upgrade as long as you have the hardware to support (which I know you do on at least one machine I heard about.. lol)

Don't know about Binkley. But I run BinkD just fine on both 32 bit
and 64 bit Windows.

ubuntu 14.04 LTS is five years... that should be out to about 2018 Apr with critical fixes being available for another two years and some months...

this is true but we've cut winwhatever loose and won't be putting any $$$ in those coffers any more... when the last vista falls over it will join the rest of the herd running ubuntu ;)

Oh, I misread that as Binkley, rather than BinkD -- thanks for putting me straight!
