I haven't looked at mbnntp; been more concentrating on the mailer and fidonet 
processing stuff.

I started learning C to fix issues with MakeNL, and then as I got more 
comfortable with it I tackled MBSE.  There are still a bunch of things I want 
to work on with it.  The interBBS chat needs to be overhauled and upgraded to 
support IPv6, the BBS won't fall back to displaying the ASCII file if the ANSI 
file doesn't exist, etc.

There are only so many hours in a day...
