Thanks for telling me You've found the RIPTEL 3.1 file.

That 3.1 in its name made me think it was written for running on a old
pc with Windows 3.1 on it.  

When I wrote about You looking on the Archive Website, I was thinking
about their Wayback Machine might have Your old GT POWER BBS files from
when You started running GT POWER stored away in its archives, so You
could just Copy and Paste to get everything as it was In The Beginning,
BBS wise that is.

Isn't that the regular thing that happens when a person tries to change
something on a computer?
Mine gives me a hard time all the time.
Either IT doesn't know any better or I don't know any better.

I will look at the weather happening in the Little Rock, Arkansas area
at the National Weather Service web page before I Log On the BBS.

Last night I couldn't see the Eclipse of the Moon because the sky was
cloudy.
Were You able to see it there?
