Yeah I did, but don't want to bother with that kinda hack on it.  It sometimes
fails multiple times before it loads with it.

Yeah, I registered it back in 1995.   I also registered ROMBRAIN, but with 
their database approach it was too hard to get anymore than 30 or so discs 
online (being they are on the hard drive) .... with EZ-ROM, it's quick and 
dirty with text and path, boom, done.  I would've loved to stay with ROMBRAIN 
or (well, I can't anyone with DreamROM since it doesn't use a FOSSIL), but 
yeah I have them both paid for .... for years now. :)

I just like having it when I get a bug up my ass and I go searching in the 
door for something say "bbslist program" .... and it'll blow thru all the 
discs and I'll know if I have something I wanna try or not in a few seconds.  
Saves me some looking all over the web and finding a ton of dead links.

Gotta keep my old rep of having the biggest file BBS in PA. ;)
