Yes, that is my hopes if I can get in touch with Craig, he still has the
source, and wouldn't mind sending it to me.  I sent him a message on Facebook
last week, so hopefully I will hear something at some point.

Those additions probably wouldn't be that difficult (even for a novice modder
like myself).

When working with Nick last night on the problem I am having with multiple
networks - where the second network's AKA isn't formatting properly, he
discovered another thing that would need to be added.

It is the IFNA kludge line in the message header.  WWIVTOSS has no support
for the IFNA kludge line.  There should be an INTL line in the header. 
Apparently that was added to a standard after WWIVTOSS was written.

At any rate, Nick identified the problem, and is going to come up with a
work-around.
