Absolutely right, they are definitely old. In fact he was not on A46 when made he was on A39! LOL That is what I started on in 18.. I would wholeheartedly agree with a cryptlib vid, I was able to get it going from a post on Fido, but others are definitely going to have issues with it. In fact I was using your cyrptlib when I made the move to Linux (Thank you again) it got me through till I was able to get a built one that was fully functional..

Go for it!! :) I would love a vid series on programming with MPL, maybe it would get me to learn it, I can't grasp it. When I see others in the same boat as me everyone says it is easy if you know basic this is just like it, well I know basic, but MPL is TOUGH! I would love a series on that. As for other softwares, Synchronet is simple to set up, but some of the internal workings are tough, and I know Rob has a video series already on that. BUT Enigma might be nice, I ran Enigma for a couple of years, if you read some of the messages that went back and forth between myself and NuSkooler you'll see it wasn't the easiest at least for me. A vid on that would be good.. 

I say do some..
