As a beta tester (retired) for irex I can confirm that normal FTP, mail, BinkP 
and directory transfers work fine in the linux version, though ONLY using IP 
numbers. If you try to bring up the FTP server it will crash the first time it 
does a DNS lookup (which it will). This problem is confined to Linux btw, DOS & 
Wins are fine.

On a previous note, at one time I was informed by Charles he had lost a drive 
with irex source on it and dubious backup or something to that effect. 
Evidently he recovered everything important as newer verions kept coming at the 
time, so rumors of lost source are unfounded IMHO.
