As I have said in the past, until I can find more time
to work on the bugs, I can't see selling anymore
copies. The biggest problem has been the y2k
date problem, it thinks it is 1902 and the day is one
off. I looked at the code and have found hard code
which can be fixed, but it appears to be more then
that. I would sell it but there can be no real support
and I don't want to do that. If someone has some
time, more then I do right now and wants to tackle
it, then I will provide them with the code needed. I
got the program some years ago to keep it alive,
but it just died and I have only sold 2 programs
since I got it and both were sold very cheap, I did
not buy it to make any money, I would have to sell
many copies to even break even. I had code to make
it work via the serial port and another type of BBS
program on either a Mac or PC, but that did not
work out.

I have never understood Steve Lichter. He owns the rights to the software,
appears to "attempt" control of licensing, yet is unwilling to sell copies
of the software to willing buyers!
My recommendation: Just find a pirated copy of it somewhere, and send him a
check for what you think is fair.
