That's too bad about the copyright issue. A lot newer software than
this has long ago become freeware. I don't exactly see a large  future
market in software for stand-alone Apple IIe BBS software. :-)

Is your software like an 'emulator'? If there were a program written
in say- Visual Basic or VB.NET or something, that looked like GBBS on
the client, but did not use any GBBS code, is that the same as what
you are describing?
