   i don't think they can simply be renames but it is possible... i think the key   
   is different folders and different dlls... if they are the same, perhaps it is   
   the different version builds that's the difference i spotted... if that's the   
   case, then the author would be the one that renamed them, right?

   11264 - 11246 = 18 bytes difference between telenetdoor.exe and bbslink.exe   
   with bbslink being the larger and older...   
      
   197632 - 189440 = 8192 bytes difference between the two RMLib.dlls with the   
   telnetdoor one being both larger and newer...   
      
   i note also the specifying of the information is done differently with one   
   seemingly having () around each parameter and the other not... comparing the   
   two shows the different formats as well as the different command line   
   parameters being fed to the programs... -X and -Y are certainly used   
   differently...
