I looked at it about 2 years ago. It is very nice but it's Fidonet support stunk so bad I couldn't use it. If he has redesigned it to where you can turn his frontend type setup off and use Binkley/2 then it could be a winner.

I'm talking does the Watcom version run faster, or does the VAC version error out more... what's the difference between them to the actual sysop, not to the compiler or author... and if there's no difference, why release both?
