The code is on tsx-11 in /pub/linux/sources/usr.bin/bt3023.T.Z
                         /pub/linux/sources/usr.bin/plst.T.Z

Needs to be compiled, though. Unless you like to play with
40-50 source files at once, you might wait until we get it stabilized.
This is based on the port to the NeXT, which is based on the port to
the Atari ST, which is based on the original DOS version, so some
things (like Janus) which should work don't quite DTRT yet.

I'm playing with the idea of putting together a Fidopak, similar
to the mailpak and (upcoming?) newspak. Any ideas for what I should
include? Anyone wanna help?
