    From Phil Kimble@1:128/2 to Vince Coen on Monday, October 02, 2017 11:21:24
    Hi Vince,

    I have been off the wire for a few years & like all lost pups, finding my way home. Its good to see a friendly name.

    Are there any major updates to mbse, is it still being improved? I recall Michel dropped out a few years back due to family concerns.

    Thanks for keeping things going!

    Yes, Michael has left fido.

    There are three of us as far as I remember working on it as and when although just minor changes at least as of v1.0.7 with the bulk of the work done by Andrew Leary.
    The current is v1.0.7.4 in the code repo with 1.0.7.2 in the files area.

    These changes (for 1.0.7.3 & 4) are for :

    1. New version of FTSCPROD included although you could do this yourself.

    2. When creating a new ~/etc/domain.data, mbsetup no longer
    includes entries for FidoNet zones 5 & 6.

    3. Began preliminary work on FTN domain aliases, similar to
    the BinkD "domain <new-name> alias-for <name>" option. This
    will allow MBSE to fully communicate with systems that use
    FTN domain names longer than 8 characters, which are NOT
    FTSC compliant.

    As I said nothing heavy.

    As for getting it go to www.sourceforge.net/p/mbsebbs

    Latest is in code or HG.
