The above information in its entirety is what you will see when you open a 
file from RUDM. That original display will no longer be published. Also on 
the Final Exit list appears the complete ANSI collection. Those contents are 
hereby granted public property and will be published for general consumption.
The total roster for the Final Exit appears to be up to two BBSes per day 
although no other sysops have requested the asylum whitherthoust must take 
within the first minute of April Fool's Day.

  R.U.D.M. BBS in St.Louis 
 




R.U.D.M. History
Officially went online November 26, 1993 using Wildcat">http://www.mustang.com/">Wildcat 2.6. After only two weeks, the 
system went to TriBBS v5.0. During the 
TriBBS days, much third party software was produced from R.U.D.M., most of 
which is still in circulation but unsupported by me.
After slowly growing gastrointestinally -sick- from dealing with a real 
$#|+head of an author affectionately known as markie, well known for 
operating various scams and rackets out of the far northeastern part of the 
United States, change was inevitable! Therefore, R.U.D.M. began operating 
under Maximus 2.00 in January of 
1995 and upgraded through 2.01wb and 2.02. Thanks to the generosity of 
Lawrence Gordon, sysop of Toast House BBS here in St.Louis, we began using Wildcat">http://www.mustang.com/">Wildcat 3.9 around March of 1995 and 
upgraded to version 4 shortly thereafter. We have no plans to change the BBS 
software again anytime soon. :-)
Note that TriBBS is no longer owned by 
that same author and is currently being developed by Mr. Gary Price. We wish 
him the best of wishes and good luck for success.
In addition to Wildcat 4.1x, we use 
FrontDoor 2.12sw+ for the mailer, InterEcho">http://www.furtherdev.com/">InterEcho for the tosser, Allfix!">http://www.vvm.com/regsite/">Allfix! for Wildcat! for the file echo 
processor, and Silver Xpress as an 
additional offline mail door. 
R.U.D.M. has been a member of ToadNet">http://www.isonline.com/toadnet">ToadNet since January of '94, and 
FidoNet since April of '94. Originally 
inspired to serve both professional and amateur computer programmers in the 
St.Louis area, it also serves up the latest files and lots of messages. We 
also feature a few door games. I guess the main focus would be geeky stuff 
like programming and computer technical schtuff…
The BBS machine itself is an old 386dx40 DOS box with 4mb RAM running the 
real-mode redirectors from Windows for Workgroups. It features an EGA card 
and monitor, two CDROMS accessible from the BBS software, and a small 180mb 
hard drive to accommodate local temp files. The BBS software/files are 
located on a network.
We really don't care about any of this crap anymore, though. The BBS is 
only alive these days because I have a second line for internet access, so 
why not keep it going just for the hell of it? 

Uhh, So what the hell is a Ratifa??
Ratifa was one of my favorite rats. She was born in Temecula, out in 
Southern California, and came to the midwest when we did. She had a dark 
golden coat with splotches of black scattered all over. Fierce in her younger 
years, she grew to be quite a tame rodent. The perfect girl!
She lived to be just over two years old before being killed by one of her 
offspring. She is now burind in an unmarked grave next to a creek in a remote 
part of Ellisville, Mo. We have not been to visit since her untimely passing, 
but we do think of her from time to time.
Ok, so that's a bit dramatized... She was still one helluva pet! And as a 
tribute to her existance, her name will stay alive in this abstract place we 
call cyberspace... Rest in peace, sweetheart...

  Twas the code..
Gee, Larry, what do you say to a place you can always have a small web page? 
When the time is right I'm going to run all night and yes.
Future predictions coming true shortly will happen like this. If I have disk 
space, you have a free web page at www.kerry.vinson.com. Especially welcome 
are Kathy Ireland, Cybil Shepherd, the healthy bodies found at 
fitness-beach.com, and something universally related or so.
Time for mentally to take a growing leap past a pain. But as they say comes 
comet for Final Exit.
Wow let's just pfhreak the pfhuck out!
