BSFlite for Win32 and DOS
-------------------------

WARNING!!

BSFlite's non-UNIX ports are not as well-tested, and may suffer from ugly bugs
that I may not know about.

** Note: as of 0.80, the terminal issues have been fixed, as far as I know.

I do not consider these ports to be as "solid" as the UNIX version. If you're
stuck with Windows and like BSFlite, your best bet is to use bsflite on an
UNIX server through PuTTY.

 These are native ports compiled from the same source tree as the original.
Both binaries are cross-compiled from NetBSD/i386 using Mingw32 (Win32) and
DJGPP (DOS). The DOS port requires a 386 or above and a packet driver.
Please see a site such as www.fdisk.com for more information on DOS internet.

Due to differences between UNIX and DOS/Win32, the configuration filenames
are as follows:

config.txt	~/.bsflite/config	(SN/password configuration)
profile.htm	~/.bsflite/profile	(profile)
buddies.txt	~/.bsflite/buddies	(buddy list)
icon.bin	~/.bsflite/icon		(buddy icon)
awaymsgs.txt	~/.bsflite/awaymessages (away messages)

These should go in the same directory as the binary.

Enjoy!
