Joop,
[F6FBB not very useable]

But not instructions: they are only on the web site, and even there they
are old and do not fit the software... took me an hour to see I had to run
that script. How about a simple readme that mentions this? These are the
very basics of software!
I must mention, I downloaded the tar.gz, not the rpm: I run a too-modern
RedHat for that. Alas, there is no standard "./configure, make, make
install", and the bbs when it does come up is mysterious, needs obscure
text files edited, and displays Toulouse stuff by default...

But the readme urges users to not make changes on their own. Surely that's
not GPL?

I would say, because there appears to be nothing else.

Ah, that's why I am asking here.
