Thanks Kurt,

I may be repeating myself with this message because I "think" I sent
a Reply to your message but I can't find the Reply in my Saved Message
files.  I may have told MultiMail to Kill the messages I wrote when I
started it up later in the day, "thinking" I already sent the .REP to
FIDO.          DUH!

The comment I thought about making was that you probably started off
using DOS 1.25 or maybe an earlier version such as DOS 1.10 .

ITT-DOS 2.11 was on the Clone I used at work, but I had a relative
who had a Clone with DOS 1.25 on it that he used back when I had My
Commodore C=64 "PC!" that I was learning about.

I even tried to help him some, from using what I learned from reading
about DOS and WINDOWS on the local BBS, it was Tom Currie's
"The Volunteer BBS" and was on the GT-POWER Network.

Bob Myers "Louisville's Commodore Connection" was the first BBS I got
on back in 1984, I think it was just a local Dial-Up BBS and not on
a network at all.

I remember the first two Games I Downloaded, one was a Bowling Game
and the other was called PROPS!, where a Pigeon had to fly from one
side of the screen to the other side to join his mate, but had to
avoid getting hit by any of the moving propellers that were scrolling
vertically in the center of the screen.
By the time he arrived at the other side of the screen I'd see a
message "SHE FLEW THE COOP!" .

I'm going to have to look up that floppy disk with that game on it and
play it again on the C=64.

I didn't join a BBS that used FIDO until some time later on when I
learned there was a BASIC Echo on another local BBS that had both the
GT-POWER network and the FIDO network, it was Mike Powells
"Moes Tavern" that later changed its name to "The
Pan-American BBS"
and now is called "Capitol City Online, KY" BBS.
