    Hello everybody!

    OK, now totally fed up with the inaccurate displays of this despite multi complaints regarding so, I am now writing a program to do it correctly and add a few tweaks such as human readable sizes, and display of last error reported from a call in or out with a list of all such error codes displayed at the end of the normal list.

    I am writing it in a high level language as my 'C' coding is extremely rusty, although the code generated is in C anyway not that you would notice it.

    I will try and create a executable 64 bit for every one (I am assuming all mbse
    sysops use that as a Linux (*nix) platform but will also provide the program in
    source code form so you can run it through the free to obtain (distro package manager etc) and compile it yourself.

    Will advise when coding complete and likewise when testing completed.

    I will be offering it for Beta testing for those interested.

    Note that this program (mboutq) ONLY creates the queue display the same as mbout sta but with improvements.

    If you will be interested in helping beta test it please drop a note here and will get back to you when completed and ready for outside Beta testing.
