    Actually pascal and basic were the earliest versionf of BBSEs.
    WWIV like some C projects were converted from those languages.
    Then about '87 they diverted.  Basic faded away as any bbs
    project.  Then the two groups were pascal and C.  

    The era of copying one software to look like another and pretending
    its original started around 1990.
