  Don't know about that one! ;-)

  I just tried the v4 release that Dan Ackerman ported for the
  STing api...Interesting. It does work, but seems to have a few
  glitches and improvements:
  
  I can't get the color to work correctly under TOSWIN2. Text is
  one solid color, no diffs.
  Its slightly slower than v3.4, even though I am running it from
  my MiNT partition.
  It does not show anyone on my contact list as being online, even
  though I know they are there, and exchange messages with them.
  
  It does use the backspace key correctly, so editing is possible
  if you make a typo.
  Sound, other than the system beep is possible using the MiNT
  audio device (have not tried this yet though)

->I do know that mswordview latest for example are not very cleanly written,

  I wish we were more mainstream compatible with the current Unix/Linux
  standards as well. It would be nice to just be able to "make" any new
  release (or at least with few changes)...

->Anyone working with mintlibs should at least give a try to see how bad it
->just fails to compile.

  You're right, but of course I have the old libs. ;-(

->I am just incompetant in C. :(

  Don't be too hard on yourself! ;-)
