FIDOGATE does not include a Fido mailer, but co-operates very well with ifcico, BinkD, and supports DOS / WIN / OS2 mailers with a BinkleyTerm-style outbound in a network.

The development releases may not support all platforms, in particular compiling under MSDOS, OS2, or WIN32 may not work. Linux is the best supported platform, because that's where development work takes place.

The Perl script language is heavily used for FIDOGATE scripts, so the Perl interpreter must be installed. Perl is available for allmost all UNIX systems, OS/2, MSDOS, and WIN32 (Perl for WIN32).

Fedora Core Linux
An easy to install RPM build for Fedora Core is available here. It includes a sample configuration for a FIDOGATE point system.

NetBSD
FIDOGATE software runs on NetBSD, with an easy to install package at comms/fidogate.

FreeBSD
There also a port of FIDOGATE for FreeBSD (of course ;-).

FIDOGATE version numbers are based on the scheme

major.minor.patchlevel

where an even minor number indicates a stable release (e.g. 4.4.0) and an odd minor number indicates a development release (e.g. 4.3.0), very much like the Linux kernel.

The latest stable release of FIDOGATE:

• FIDOGATE 4.4.10
