Hello Anthony,

I am afraid not.

Charles is nodelisted as 1:340/0 and 1:340/806, but there is no point in 
netmailing him. Over the years I have attempted to get in touch with him in 
various capacities. As a registered Irex user, as a fellow sysop and as FTSC 
member. To no avail, he does not respond.

It is painfully obvious that Charles has lost interest in Fidonet in general 
and in Irex in particular. That happens. We live, learn and turn and while we 
do, we shift priorities. No problem.

What I do have a problem with is that he sits on the source. Assuming he still 
has it of course. Many programmers who lost interest and left Fidonet have 
released the source of their product into the public domain. Golded and Fmail 
come to mind. That way their products live on and benefit the Fidonet 
community.

But Charles just sits on it. :-(

Forget it. The last release was over 7 years ago. Nothing has happened since. I 
have given up. What we need is IPv6 support and this is obviously not going to 
happen. I'v had a lot of fun with Irex, but now is the time to say goodbye. I 
am looking for an alternative - one that WILL support Ipv6 - and when I found 
it, I will dump Irex.


Cheers, Michiel
