   Hi everyone,   
      
   As many of you may (or may not know), I have my own line of BBS doors called   
   Cheepware that I've been working on since 1998.  Nothing fancy but people   
   seem to like them.  I recently ported them from DOS-only to DOS, OS/2,   
   Win32, 64-bit Linux, and 64-bit FreeBSD (my BBS runs under FreeBSD).  I am   
   needing people to "kick the tires" on all of these builds except FreeBSD.   
      
   All of my doors and doorkit code will soon be released under the 3-clause   
   BSD license, which is compatible with the GPL according to the FSF, for your   
   experimentation.  The dooorkit I am using is a modified version of Manndoor,   
   written by Rick Parrish originally, with Maarten Berker's ELECOM code   
   underlying that.   
      
   My FreeBSD doors work fine but I want to make sure there's no "oddities" in   
   the other versions.   
      
   The documentation is a bit sparse right now but I am working on that also.    
   I am working on a text version first then will create a PDF version.   
      
   If you're interested, check out the CHWARE echo which is the main support   
   echo in Fidonet or MIN_BBS in my network, Micronet.   
      
   I write the doors for myself but I have always made them available for   
   others for their enjoyment.  I have more doors planned but right now I need   
   to get the basics covered.
