    BF>    That sounds like a heavy undertaking, are you sure it's worthwhile?   
      
   It's not as hard as it seems.  Maarten Berkers (I hope I have his name   
   right), the author of EleBBS, took all of his FOSSIL/serial code and   
   released it as EleCOM.  A LOT of people took that foundation and built on   
   it.   
      
   What I am basically doing is porting over a lot of routines I wrote that   
   will extend Manndoor.  I am also rewriting a few things in Manndoor and   
   there are parts of Manndoor that were never finished that I will try to work   
   on.   
      
   I will be hosting it on my Sourceforge repo so anyone can take a look.   
      
   I have released my door code under the BSD license so anyone can take it   
   and port it to whatever they want.

   That's actually an excellent idea.   
      
   I could write something like that for MBSE using Lazarus but I think we're   
   deciding on using SQLite for storage so that will make things orders of   
   magnitude easier to work with since FreePascal has a very nice SQLite unit.
