Hello All.
May be a crazy question, but is there a version of Synchronet that runs natively under OS/2?
Best regards,
Marc

Got it. Now I wonder if it would be possible to commpile the current V3.2 source code to run under OS/2? (I know - probably not, but thought I'd ask anyway. <g> )

It's certainly not something I intend to try or support. The first
question to answer would be: can the JavaScript engine and Crypto
(SSH/TLS) engine that Synchronet relies upon be built for OS/2 and I'm
pretty sure that answer is no. And getting those ported to OS/2 would
be likely much harder than porting Synchronet itself. You could
probably build a version of Synchronet without those features (JS,
TLS/SSL) on OS/2, but it would take a very motivated C/C++ programmer
(and OS/2 lover - AKA, not me) to take on such a task.
So... not impossible, but highly improbable.
