John I was either system number 003 or 005. My system was pro-ironsun
and was founded sometime in 1984. If you look at some demo entries
Morgan placed in his manuals you may see my login (vernonb) listed
somewhere.

I ran my system until 1994. Career moves and a dwindling apple user
community (as well as inexpensive net access) proved to be its
downfall. I still have all the original stuff.

I was trying to get the BBS program off my hard drive( Proline
Updates) when the mishap occurred. I am a legitmate owner of the
software. (I even wrote a few programs as stats for the package for
modem/login statistics).

Trying to locate a source of files in case my repair attempts fail.
