   Legally got my code before Ben. Requirement was not to use QuickBBS as the   
   name. However, after speaking with Ben, finding out he lost 2.90+ source... I   
   debating on grabing the trademark and spinngin QuickBBS back up - synchronize   
   the 2.9 changes to my 2.8 source - and release it.   
      
   However, my agreement with Steve was when my company bought the source was not   
   to step on the QuickBBS Team's shoes. My code base is much smaller, as I   
   droppped OPRO, APRO, OO, QWIK, etc. And replaced all of that cdoe with   
   assembly. For example, QCONFIG was 341kb, mine is just under 100kb. Similar   
   look, but, dropped all the (p)OOP. ;-)   
      
   I would have no heartache in co-authoring with Ben... last time (about a year   
   ago+) we spoke - he didn't seem to care about the 16bit world forward. And   
   since I wrote my own compilers - I didn't care to go Delphi or Free Pascal.
