   In light of the obsolete status of 16 bit centric BBS RIP I doubt this   
   thread will attract a great deal of attention.  However, as it may assist   
   someone in the future I will make a couple of observations.   
      
   The capacity to detect RIP exists in Wildcat! v5 to v7, but it is not   
   implemented by default in MAIN.WCC.   
      
   The code to display an alternate set of *.RIP or dispR.BBS files does not   
   currently exist at all in the relevant ANSI Side modules.   
      
   You can implement the ability to detect RIP and its associated Version   
      
     Connected with Telnet.  Ansi detected. - Detected RIP Version: 030001   
      
   As you will see above I am successfully detecting RIP Version 3.  I do not   
   have a working RIP v1 or v2 emulator so I cannot test backwards   
   compatibility.  However, my testing was based on the RIPv1 Specification so   
   it should work with v1 to v3.   
      
   Once you have detected RIP you can set a global session variable for the   
   user and then display an alternate set of RIP files.  I tested the concept   
   of HELLOR1-HELLOR9.BBS and it worked fine.
