   Yes, Michael has left fido.   
      
   There are three of us as far as I remember working on it as and when although   
   just minor changes at least as of v1.0.7 with the bulk of the work done by   
   Andrew Leary.   
   The current is v1.0.7.4 in the code repo with 1.0.7.2 in the files area.   
      
   These changes (for 1.0.7.3 & 4) are for  :   
      
   1. New version of FTSCPROD included although you could do this yourself.   
      
   2. When creating a new ~/etc/domain.data, mbsetup no longer   
   includes entries for FidoNet zones 5 & 6.   
      
   3. Began preliminary work on FTN domain aliases, similar to   
   the BinkD "domain  alias-for " option.  This   
   will allow MBSE to fully communicate with systems that use   
   FTN domain names longer than 8 characters, which are NOT   
   FTSC compliant.   
      
   As I said nothing heavy.   
      
   As for getting it go to www.sourceforge.net/p/mbsebbs   
      
   Latest is in code or HG.
