Janis,
 
  I just saw a note from digital man (aka Rob Swindell), the author
of Synchronet...noting that the bbsfiles.com website, that was done
by Doug Rhea, is no more. Doug lost his valiant battle with cancer
recently, so any of the doorgames that noted they could be registered
at bbsfiles.com, that statement is no longer valid.
 
  Doug had bought many former software collections from authors who
got out of the doorgame business, as it were, and had it set where
one could get a FREE COPY key for use for a year...but one could get
a personal registration key in most of the doors for as little as $5,
which in many cases, was a fraction of what the door originally cost.
 
  Some folks "had problems" with what Doug did, but I personally never
experienced any issues. Many of the doors that were on his system, I
was able to download, and register for my BBS's use. The files are still
on my BBS, but as noted, any references to registering them on the
bbsfiles.com website, are no longer valid.
 
  Condolences to Doug's family on this loss. I personally lost my Dad
to pancreatic cancer...an uncle to colon cancer (which I think is what
Doug had)...my Dad's sister to pancreatic cancer...and my grandmother
on my Mom's side to lung cancer. I doubt any family has escaped this
horrible scourge.
