It doesn't really need support... yes, the author was severely injured
in a car crash, and IIRC also around the same time got a job somewhere
that would own anything he developed while working for them, and so he
pretty well vanished from the scene...   However, various people have
since supplied the little that has been needed along the way to keep the
BW reader and doors working well...  The reader and the Y2K patch are
available at mark lewis's bbs for downloading... If you still have a
registration number for version 2.20 or following, it's still valid...
The last version was 2.30...  And even without the registration, it
still works well.. I think there's a slight delay in loading, and
there's an NR that appears after the version number in the tearline, but
otherwise it's just the same as the registered copies...
