  • I did a little something something...

    Hey y'all

    Just for funsies, I did a thing and put it inside the latest tqwinfo.zip for y'all to have a look at.
    There's a zip file inside the infopack zip, which contains 3 files;

    tqwnet_l64
    tqwnet_p64
    tqwnet_w64.exe

    Hopefully it will be self explanatory but in case not, they are binaries, the _l64 runs on a 64 bit linux desktop, _p64 runs on a pi with 64 bit desktop, and _w64.exe is for, well you guessed it, Windows 64 bit desktop!

    Please let me know if it doesn't work for you, and what the error is and I will try and fix it up for a new hatch next week... but hopefully it should "just work"(tm).


    Enjoy your weekend folks!

    Heh, that's entertaining!

    My 50+ year old eyes don't see the purpley text all too well, though (the section that says "Join us in MRC every..." primarily).

    Hey y'all

    Just for funsies, I did a thing and put it inside the latest tqwinfo.zip for y'all to have a look at. There's a zip file inside the infopack
    zip, which contains 3 files;

    tqwnet_l64 tqwnet_p64 tqwnet_w64.exe

    Installed 7zip since explorer didn't want to extract this... It worked on the main archive, but not on the archive within. Also, My BBS system is under Win32. I was unable to extract this properly, is the TL;DR.

    Thanks for trying it out, and glad it runs ok for you.

    The Pi version will apparently only run on a Pi4 (as that's what I compiled it on), the Pi5 has different display hardware or something, so I need to figure out how to compile it for any Pi, if that's possible.
