JP>     Hello Mark, nice talking to you ! How are you doing ?

actually, i'm doing pretty well, ATM ;) it has been a while... how are you
and yours? back up north, are ya?

this is all (some of it even possibly) true... some software has QWK
"doors" built into it... i don't remember if WC systems do or
not... in know that my RA (RemoteAccess BBS) system does not... this
affords me the ability to add whatever one (or more) i desire so as to fit
my users' needs and preferences... unfortunately, there are not many
available these days nor is my current (beta) version of RA compatible with
what is left out there...

i believe that i wrote a conversion utility, at one time, for this version
so as to have data files that are compatible with an older version of this
BBS software but i don't recall and don't remember if i have it in place
for the one(s) (ie: some doors) that i do have installed... hummm... i
might need to check into that some weekend when i can possibly beg off of
going to my GF's place... dunno if i really want to do that, though... i
only get to see her/them on the weekend as it is ;)
