-> some cases that people come to rely on.   I often wonder how many programs
-> are out there that BBS sysops rely on for which they can't get tech support.
 
I think aside from Syncronet and NTServer/Wildcat most of the other BBS
sysops just dig into what they have knowing they will not get much
support.

And it is a shame that there are so many door games that lack support.
Jas Hud mentioned the state of BBS's in the last ten years, which is the
time I gauge on how long the Newton has been gone.

In that case we have about 25% of the development companies still
responding, and a few that don't, and everything in between in now
freeware or the source is available.

I get the feeling the trend to "release source code for the good of the
community" was something that tended to catch on with departing people
in the Newton scene but not so much the BBS scene.  Shame really.

My only gripe is some of those good products that you WANT to use, and
WANT to register.  I don't mind that improvements are not there, but it
would be nice to actually be able to use it.  Now those are a shame.
