   Sounds like some great progress!     
      
   Certainly will be nice if we have a working SETUP (source) for WWIVTOSS, just   
   so we have the entire package.  Fortunately, I was able to do the needed   
   updates to WWIVTOSS itself - and have not had the need to change anything in   
   the SETUP.  Still using the old SETUP.EXE from the very last version that   
   Craig released - which still works.   
      
   Hopefully it will port with no issues back to DOS (Borland C).  I can test   
   that if/when needed.   
      
   Thanks!
