Well, I've looked at about six of them and what it seems to be is a compiled, 
encrypted system limited to WC!  There is generally only one "executable" 
file ending in .wcx....... seems a lot like MEX and MECCA combined for WC! 
since the WC!/PCBoard display system (mecca) can also be found internally in 
some of the files I looked at (some also called .ans or .bbs files).......
it is a shame that PC Board ppe's, and these can't be run under something on 
MAX. All three are using the same idea and I know from earlier checking that 
the PC Board/WC! color code display system equivalent to mecca is virtually 
the same between them...... some kind of PPE/WCX to MAX (mex) translator. 
While we all know how open Scott made the details of mex, I wonder if the 
other two are as open to research and see if such a thing were even 
possible.......
