   Do you enjoy playing The Pit 4.17 (yes, the one with the fancy graphics   
   terminal) but get annoyed by a one specific shareware feature?  Is your single   
   biggest regret of the '90s (and we know about that mullet) not getting this   
   game registered when you had a chance?  Does your version of the game make you   
   feel like you are in that Groundhog Day movie, constantly re-living the same   
   day and starting over again once a certain point has been reached?   
      
   That's unfortunate.  It's been decades since this game was last able to be   
   registered.  There's nothing to be done about it at this point.   
      
   In COMPLETELY UNRELATED news, a team of 5-6 software testers is being   
   assembled to verify recent updates for an undisclosed software package.  Ideal   
   candidates for this group will have most or all of the following skills and   
   attributes:   
      
   - Be fully capable of installing and running DOS door games on a BBS system   
   (public or private) with little or no assistance   
      
   - Be able to accurately report problem details and follow instructions to   
   resolve them   
      
   - Have working knowledge of DOS or a DOS emulator and be able to use simple   
   DOS applications without help   
      
   - Actually be interested in helping to ensure the software is functioning   
   properly   
      
   - Already be familiar with the various quirks and features of The Pit 4.17 or   
   at least later versions of The Pit 4.xx   
      
   If you would be interested in this small project, please send a netmail to me   
   at this node.  Include a reliable Internet e-mail address, describe your   
   system setup, and give a brief explanation of how you meet the requirements   
   above.  Preferably I would like to have all of the common door environments   
   (Win32 NTVDM, NTVDMx64, DOSBox, DOSEMU, others?) represented.  A DOS machine   
   without a floating-point math coprocessor would be especially interesting.   
      
   Thanks for reading.
