True... and if anyone from Cutting Edge Computing showed up, and jumped
into the scene again, I'd be the first to welcome them back.  :)  It's
just that they /have/ disappeared from the scene, and the person in the
UK that was handling registrations last has also disappeared without a
trace, so questions about ownership and registration will remain
unanswerable until such time as someone resurfaces.  In the meantime,
the fixes haven't changed the reader or the doors at all, merely
addressed how the date was accessed.  And Dale's earlier fix just was a
patch to the reply packet itself so that it wouldn't munge dates.

 PC> I just like using it, and I used to give it too anyone I knew doing
 PC> the BBS scene.

As my sysop did for me, getting me well and truly hooked on it... :) 
And I still recommend it to people, as, even unregistered, it works
well...  And if registration WAS available again, I'd push them that
way, too.. :)

All we have are Watch Cats... break in, they'll watch...
