Well, I've been running and writing BBS systems since 1980 (Got started on the
TRS-80 Model I working with Wayne Greene in FL) and have been constantly
upgrading and redesigning all this time.  Anyway, to make a long story short,
in comp.binaries.ibm.pc is a copy of the latest DMGBBS system that I've been
working on.  I only uploaded the executable files as the source code is over
1M and no matter how I compress and squeeze it, its rediculously long.

Anyway, the executable is there to look at and play with and determine if your
interested in getting a copy of the source code.  The thing is a shareware
type of deal.  Feel free to give the BBS out to whomever you feel like as I
don't really mind at all.  If you'd like the source code, read the opening
and closing screens on the system to figure out where to send for the stuff.

As with WWIV, ALL the source code is available (other than the external
programs that I didn't write and one TPU file), otherwise there are around
20000+ lines of code to wade through to re-write whatever suits your fancy.
You can even create new UNITS and connect them into the system...

Well, let me know what anyone thinks about the subject...
