	A local BBS converted to Paragon from BBS-PC.  The users had many
	complaints and so the SYSOP switched back.  Apparently though,
	the author of the program was very receptive to enhancement requests
	and so a new version has been produced.  Hopefully the new version will
	fix enough problems to make the program more usable.  The BBS is in
	San Diego, CA - "The Mousetrap", 619-464-2134.  It will be set up
	with the latest Paragon software in a few days (perhaps by 7-28-89).

	Some of the complaints were: Tabs not recognized in messages,
	No way to read all messages addressed to you (you had to scan
	through the entire message base, or write down the messsage #'s),
	You must hit ESC to login (messed up some login scripts)... there
	were some other complaints as well.   Anyone interested in the 
	evolution of Paragon from a SYSOP's point of view should call the
	Mousetrap and talk to the SYSOP.
