     Welcome back Trev! We definitely need some encouragement regarding 
future releases of Opus!

     There's still a lot of interest in Opus. With a 'current' release 
that blows the socks off most other BBS packages, as previous versions of 
Opus have done (at release time), it seems likely that many Sysops could be 
added to the list of Opus supporters - we used to be quite a few, but the 
numbers are now dwindling.
