I carry all of these echoes that Wilfred lists and, as he said, most are not very active. I have a few others, too, some of which are a little more active than those.

I'm curious which those are? ;-)

I should have been a little more specific. They are not FIDO but from
Usenet -- COMP.LANG.* groups. Some are about as alive as the FIDO echoes
you mentioned, but a few do have a few posts a week.

Anyone here (or Maurice) tried, or heard of, cosmopolitan?

Cosmopolitan Libc makes C/C++ a build-once run-anywhere language, like Java, except it doesn't need an interpreter or virtual machine. Instead, it reconfigures stock GCC and Clang to output a POSIX-approved polyglot format that runs

natively on Linux + Mac + Windows + FreeBSD + OpenBSD 7.3 + NetBSD + BIOS with the best possible performance and the tiniest footprint imaginable.

I haven't tried building with it yet, I just started looking at this list and may "experiment" soon.

P.S. I couldn't find a C, Programming, or Software development FidoNet echo. Am I blind?

There are a few, but they have been mostly dead for a long time:

C_ECHO
C_PLUSPLUS
PASCAL
PASCAL_LESSONS
PYTHON

So the BBS you use, might not have them anymore...


Bye, Wilfred.
