Where do I find the version number? There are a lot of files and
utilities comming with DDE but not one.

It was the first programme ever I used to fetch my emails. It is
similary to !Hermes but free. I always liked to improve it.

With your help I was able to compile !PopStar now. To me it is a very
complicate process. You have to set up a lot of variables before you can
compile it successfully. Also, it builds just the file !RunIm32 which is
a part of !POPStar but not all. You will find the rest when you download
the whole application

https://www.heenan.me.uk/distrib/popstar/popstr205.zip

I will study now the whole process with DDE before I try to switch
everything to GCC. The target is to join !POPStar with the
GNU-TLS-library and to improve the software not in only this way.
