Ruben...

 RF{at}> Well I'll be a you know what.  I never that that Paul would release GT.
 RF{at}> I am a GT registered sysop from way back (I think gt14).  I would be

  As you may recall, Paul quit developing GT back in 1994, after the last
version, GT 19, was released (I was one of the beta testers who was happy
to upgrade). But, very few of the GT Sysops apparently wanted to do the same,
and since GT was Paul's livelihood, he stopped development. From what I recall,
he was going to get his son, Mark, to work on it, but Mark neglected his
schoolwork...so, Paul sold it to Bill Watts. 

  Unfortunately, for whatever reason, Bill had to give it up, and sold it to
Dennis Berry...and Tom recently bought the rights and source code. Tom's
nitial
goal will be to make GT freeware, and telnet capable under Windows. There will
be much more to come, but it obviously will take some time to implement it all.
In fact, I'm working on reconfiguring the control files for the system for the
switch...it's a lot of tedious work, but I don't mind it a bit.

  Tom has also said that the new version will be compatable with GT 19, the
ast
release that Paul put out, but it apparently won't be compatable with prior 
versions of GT.
