Hi Stephen,

On 2024-03-23 10:36:58, you wrote to me:

Indeed.

 SW> Magicka supports JAM but is no longer supported.
 SW> Talisman only supports squish, but is still supported!

 SW> Both compile and work on M68K Linux!

Maybe I'll try to make the pkt code endianess agnostic first. If that works
for you I could look at the message base code.

Does your compiler/environment have endian.h ?


Bye, Wilfred.
