Hi! Don,

   I started using Argus in the early noughties and loved it.  There weren't any   
   updates to it directly.   
      
   However, the source code was taken up by a 'maintainer' team of Denis Voituk   
   (Russian) and Alex Shakhaylo (Ukrainian), who called the new effort "Radius".    
   Radius is a drop-in replacement for an Argus installation, though there might   
   be some additional settings required to be configured in its setup.  Radius   
   contains many fixes & enhancements over the basic Argus.   
      
   Alex went a little overboard with some of his 'steak knife' extras coded into   
   later versions, so Denis asked him to fork the development of those extras.    
   This further development became known as a thing called "Taurus".   
      
   Since then, a feller named Frans Lupschen has done 'some work' on the Argus &   
   Radius sources in late 2013 on a project called "Trapgate".  I don't know what   
   changes he may have made as I haven't run any versions of his.  Nothing has   
   turned up in the Trapgate echo over here and I haven't checked his website   
   since December, so, I don't know what's going on with it (other than I think   
   he was de-constructing some GUI aspects, unnecessarily).   
      
   I sincerely hope that I haven't told you things that you already knew of.  :|   
      
   I'm running Radius from the latest (I think) version issued in January 2005,   
   since then.  It's a magnificent improvement on Argus.  OTOH, I have noticed   
   that some very recent versions of BinkD barf on first-time connects.   
      
   Cheers,   
   Paul.
