That code is actually very broken.

- The protocol functions are kludged to use an external driver.  The
internal ones are broken.

- Nexus uses a numerical numbering system for its doors (you call the doors
by a number system).  If you remove a door, the system does not
automatically renumber itself, therefore you have to redo ALL of the door
menus to reflect a single change.

- There are problems with the Squish handling in Nexus.

I used to be a Nexus beta tester.  There's about 20 bugs that I know of-I
have a list somewhere in my archives.

I tried and tried to get George to get me a tarball of the actual source
code tree, but he never answered, so I gave up.

I'll stick to Telegard.  It has its problems, but it works quite well and
is the most stable BBS software I've run.

Later,
Sean
