Since yesterday, hambots seem to have passed away..... Login
validation permanently fails. Checking out Hamfon's web page I read
"The downloadable bots that you found here before are now not
supported, and officially retired." (http://www.hamfon.com/hamfon.htm)

Something major has changed in the protocol it seems, and after some
digging I found that the real RC returned is 58 RC_MUST_UPGRADE. The HamBot
is compiled for the SDK build 15. Could someone with VC++ please recompile
it for build 24? I can provide the GPL sourcecode.

Developer note:
This is valid for all bots using old SDK builds, so if you wrote a bot long
ago (or perhaps not so long ago? not sure where the limit is) you might
want to recompile it...

You should be able to compile the source on any compiler. I can try; hand it over.

Nah, it needs MFC crap, and is written in VC++'s freaked up C++. But have
fun trying:
http://kahnews.cjb.net/bots/hamsource.zip (unzip rootdir into what you want
to be the base directory, and the two other zips in subdirs with the same
name as the archives).
