Well, I've once rewritten the boards to work, well... in ascii.
It used non-windows headers, but, there are similiar nearly drop-in
replacements for them. Aside from being ascii, they also were intergrated
with OLC, so simply setting an object as type "ITEM_BOARD" would allow it
to work.
The only actual upgrade was that it remembered which characters
had read which posts from the board, and had a check in the column to the
left of the post number to show that.
You can probably find it if you search for 'dynamic boards' on the
ftp site.
Note that there are still bugs in the patch, AND, those bugs have
been discussed on this mailing list several times in the past. You should
probably search for them as well.
