     Someone has uploaded a Public Domain Program to my bbs that
     claims to be a "Carbon Copy" software clone. Carbon Copy is
     a commercial piece of software when run on two pc's can run
     even the most ill behaved software. I haven't had a chance 
     to run it myself but breezed through the docs and the setups
     are similiar to the CC software. The name of it is "tandem31.arc"
     and is located in the msdos_comm files area. The bbs number
     is 415-656-9386.
