Unfortunately, even if you track down a copy it will likely not work as AOL has made many changes to the protocol over the years which have broken previous versions of Fire. There is occasionally some interest in backporting the current Fire code to NeXTStep, but so far no one has taken on this task as far as I know. So most likely you're out of luck unless you want to try to do the port yourself. Sorry, -Jason |
