=:)  .... not to mix makenl_ng project with the binkley-XE project  ,-)

the binkley-XE was about GT 2 GB hdd crash fix

last year I've also reported an DOS bug in the write message / logging routine 
'caused probably by a compiler bug of the watcom DOS version
problem in makenl_ng fixed with a "special" stack pointer fix
(inofficaly labeled 3.2.9b)
closed ticket: http://sourceforge.net/p/makenl/bugs/8/
effected files: msgtool.c, mklog.c

I've wrote and tested the fix with help from Markus and Alex  :)

Later this year, I've found in another research a document, that pointed out, 
that there exist potentialy a stack handling problem in OpenWatcom 1.9
that has some similarity with my bug found in makenl_ng starting rev 3.2.6

 KE>  I also know he

currently it varies from day to day ... Wed last week till Tue this week I was 
150% busy :-( and started recovery mode on Wed this week to the state one week 
before :-P


 KE>  But the lead maintainer should be aware of who else can be of help.

for OpenWatcom 1.9 (DOS) and GCC OS/2 I can try a compile test
and a software test
software testing is possible also under win32
