Hi Gordon,

I'm not sure why you may have a problem with them, but I'm new to linux/c
so
maybe the code isn't porting well (built/tested on redhat9 only). The code
also works on cygwin, with a 'make cygwin'. And if you have a tivo, there's
a modified build for that too.

John B has used them to build an app, but not sure what linux he's using.

I'll run them up at the weekend and try nmap, I'd like to cure any problems
as I have quite a few plans for them.

Do you get any errors?
They won't actually do anything until configured via xplhal and xplhal
manager.
Then xpldev just displays any incoming messages (that pass the filters)

Regards
Tony
