Has anyone tried programming some client/server programs to utilize
DNET?  I'm attempting to write a graphical, window-based, mouse-driven
bulletin board system that will use DNET as the underlying communication
protocol.  The only problem is that some of the functions are missing
from Matt's original code.  I've been trying to write these routines
based soley on what I believe they're supposed to do, but so far haven't
had much luck.  The missing functions include the following:

	BCmp(), WaitMsg(), BMov(), GetHead(), GetDEnv(), etc.

The WaitMsg() function is the one giving me the trouble right now.  If
anyone else has attempted to write any DNET clients or servers, then
they will have to have rewritten these missing functions.  I've asked
Matt if there is perhaps a new version coming soon, but it appears that
it may be about 6 months before he has the time to revise it and he no
longer has these missing routines.  He's real busy right now with Amiga
UUCP.  If anybody has coded up or has a copy of these missing routines,
I could sure use them!
