I don't know if Richard is running TBBS or not. It doesn't matter because
TBBSNC works just like XLAXNODE - it *is* XALXNODE to all intents and
purposes, but with additions to work with TBBS (which one doesn't have to
use if one is not running TBBS). However the major advantage is that it
needs no registration. It was issued free to TBBS users and, presumably,
eSoft paid a royalty to Scott. But since eSoft has washed its hands
entirely of TBBS all the TBBS software is appearing for download free of
charge from several servers.

Best wishes, David
