[HECnet] Windows Version of Bridge

Did you document the changes? I want to try and port it to VMS.

It seems to work well for me. If anyone is interested in a copy, let me know. I think that it needs just a little bit more work to do the following: 1. Tidy up some bits that I almost certainly left behind while trying to get it to work. 2. Turn it into a Windows Service so that it starts automatically when Windows starts. Another feature which would be nice to add generally is something which periodically re-resolves the DNS names in the config file to IP addresses, so that people who use something like DynDNS because they don t have a fixed IP address, can use it more easily and not fall off the network for too long when their IP address changes. Presumably calling the SIGHUP handler (read_conf) every so often would do the trick. It would also be nice to make the code a bit more portable so that it will compile and run on more platforms without modification, a bit like SIMH. Regards Rob
