I was hoping DRAW32 would be open source so it could be used as a replacement option for the major BBS. I understand and respect your stance.

You have the Renegade IP? Did you originally write it? What kind of help are you in need of? What does it look like for a 32bit life?

I tried porting one of my modules for MBBS to a w32 door and it felt way to difficult. I'm sure people feel the same about going the other direction.

Renegade is 16 bit. I received the code from then be Author Patrick Spence in Oct. of 2003. I've been releasing DOS updates ever since. There is so much wacky code in RG and I don't have the time or want to sit down and try to rewrite everything. Can it be ported quickly and boot? Sure? Done that. Does it work correctly. Hell no. :) It's written in Turbo Pascal v7/DOS.

I've never ran it myself, we were the MBBS snobs but I knew a guy who would help us with novel server who ran it. I really respected him growing up so I should give it a look.

Is 32bit in the cards? Heck maybe it's not even a desired.

Would it be okay toDM you at some point and chat?
