Hi,

when I was in holidays my friend got the mail from MWC about Cohware.
He read the advertising and ordered Cohware.
So he got the stuff and found out that he already had 50 Percent of it,
software I already gave him, ftp'ed from piggy.
But that's just another thing.

The main problem he has with Cohware:

There are several programs that work only with the fixed libcurses.a
Normally you receive it only from MWCBBS. Someone also ftp'ed it to
piggy.ucsb.edu.
If you live here in Europe or in other countries or still to far from
MWCBBS it is unaffordable to use MWCBBS. Most people here also can't
ftp.
So if you bought Cohware you should ask MWC for the fixed libraries you
need for compiling Cohware-stuff.

Joachim
