 Allow me to introduce myself and the BBS

 My name is Jim Wenzel and I am the sysop of the GrapeVine BBS.  The
 GrapeVine is gratefull to have been given the opportunity to step in and
 take over the valuable service that Jerry has been giving to the Forth
 Community.  The hub change is nearing completion with the addition of
 the netmail door and the only block at this point is porting the
 messages in from Genie.  I and others are working on this as fast as we
 can but are dealing with code that was written a couple of years ago by
 someone else and at best we are misssing at least one library (we think
 it may have been a custom written one at that).  Give us time and we
 should have that part up and working soon.
     I would like to put out a request to all the Forth users that if you
 might have some Forth related files that I could get in order to enhance
 this section of the BBS I would be very grateful.  At present I have
 none available.  I do have a fair amount of source code available for
 Pascal, C, Basic, Assm, as well as several general utility programs.

     A little about the BBS.  Not a very old system but it has grown
 considerably in its short existance.  Brought online in October of last
 year on a tandy 1000sx with a 40 meg hard drive and a 1200 baud modem
 the board now runs on a 386-33 w/8meg of 70nanosecond ram, 2.4 gigs of
 storage and two high speed modems (1 HST and 1 Dual).  The GrapeVine
 serves as a Hub for Rime and at present is looking at other nets to join
 with, particularily along the programming theme.  We support many
 computer types here but the majority of files are related to IBM and
 Amiga as well as a healthy programming area.     The GrapeVine offers
 full access on the first call and is presently undergoing a
 restructuring to help facilitate finding your way around.

     Well I have taken up enough message space and a special thanks to
 Gary Smith for allowing this BBS to participate with a fine group of
 folks...

 ps... any good pascal programmers out there??
