That would be a good thing. I had quite a few (5 or so) Dreamware
doors online and they did get good use. I played hangman and word
scramble regularly myself. It would be nice to see them back up and
running again.

It's the wildest stroke of luck that these fossil's were developed
back in the late 80's and today we use them to put those doors etc
on a telnet BBS. I wish Duece success with that project.
