Hi T.J.

Chris, at one time let me have a copy of a Utility that I don't remember the 
name of. I think You guys were working on it, Something like VRL or something 
like that. It worked fine except for one problem, It only passed the first 
name of the user. Chris said he was going to fix that in the next version, and 
said he had given You a fixed version. Next thing I know Chris was gone, and I 
heard no more about the program, but it worked fine and allowed dos bbs's to 
be able to run the 32 bit doors. Now that I think of it, it was not just a 
utility, it was like a revised version of gameserv or such at the time. Just 
pondering. If You could just fix that sending of the names that would be nice 
for a lot of dos sysops. Only other thing I remember is, that in earlier 
versions of that, when the Renegade splash screen would come up, it would 
lock the system, but it seemed Chris had fixed that too, at least on my end.

Have a good One!
Mike
