Take it from a guy who has run FSE's. I have had 5 different ones in 
Synchronet. Not one of them worth a dang, except Ice Edit, which is no longer 
supported. Cracks are out there, which lets the thing run as registered if a 
sysop is so inclined to do this, but the editor dies after so many uses and 
you have to reset the whole thing up. WWIV edit not bad.. But to be honest, 
external editors just suck. most don't work like the built in fse's ala 
Renegade ( probably the nicest and easiet FSE out there. ) I ran my Telegard 
system with Ice Ed, and would be happy with that today. If you Sysops in this 
telegard echo would stop acting like a bunch of old timers waiting to die.

.. That last line above is totally tongue in cheek. You guys are still some 
of the nicest group of sysops around. I just find ya's kind of quiet. 
Probably since you set up your systems so long ago and don't fiddle with 
them, so don't talk much about tg itself anymore. I tried setting up my old 
system as telnet. I don't know what it is, but It crawls and that is sad. I 
love this piece of software, but if I ran it that slow these days, I'd lose 
users, and there aren't that many . I logged on one tg telnet system. I 
was reading some old posts, He doesn't have any new posts, maybe his feed was 
cut. But just coming online recently. I read these old posts. I know it's not 
something people want to answer, and I don't blame you. But. Scott was saying 
something about Tim possibly turning the code over to him, if and when they 
got in touch. Well it is two years later, I see contact has  been made. Is it 
possible that this might happen, Or is it not an option anymore. I am sorry 
Mark, I was posting a reply to one of your messages, but it ended up to all..

Everyone have a good Day!
Mike
