I just spent a lot of hours on it (the past 7 hours or so) and its nowhere near
functional, but I can open the configuration and do local logins to the BBS
now.  When I first got the BBS to compile just about nothing worked, so its
been a long road so far.

But now at least from a local login most of the BBS functions work except
Mystic Python (although MPL is fine) and the msg/file index readers.  I think I
have everything else going though including all of the multinode stuff.

Nodespy compiles now too but I haven't even bothered trying that yet.

The hardest parts remain.  Besides the general debugging I have to get all of
the server, threading, local I/O, SSL and socket code all working in OS2. This
isn't small task and will take a lot of research of API and trial and error,
so it may be something I never finish.  But for the most part "MIS" is the
only thing remaining to port and get working.
