Yep, I do run the hangman door like that, but I think it needs replacing..
I's not a bad game, but it just isn't going to cut it with these ansified
BBS users.. me for instance.. :)

Hmm.. you might want to look at the doorware project on sourceforge.. :)

Yep, sounds like a plan. Did you ever get the note to next user door going,
or was it safe cracker that you were doing?

RW> Such is the life of a Sysop, huh? :)

That it is. Well, I haven't found a more enjoyable hobby myself.. :)
