Yes, your memory serves you well :)  I did have an interest in porting
it to the PC.

At the time, I had developed a small interpreted language and compiler
that was quite similar to ACOS.....    i still have the source code
lying around. It was originally developed to operate a simple
communications relay for a financial services firm I was working
for.... so the less experienced devs could write modules that would
download rates from ftp servers, dialup shells, etc.... all from a
simple communications language.

My recollection is that I was interested in getting access to the
original source, as i didn't have the time or patience to disassemble
the 'plugin' and 'driver' features of gbbs at the time.... by didn't
hear much back from ya.

Given my loose association w/ Tom Turley (back in the day), i figured
that you blew me off, and pretty much dropped the idea when i didn't
get a response.
