    It is highly unlikely. The market just isn't there to support it anymore. Charles Cruden is still a member of FidoNet (1:342/806) so you could try sending him NetMail.

    He is still around. Recently when I upgraded to the 1000 node server
    version, I got with him on the registration cost. He said that since I
    had the 50 node regular version earlier, I just had to pay the
    difference between it and the 1000 node server version, and that'd be
    good enough for him. BMT Micro, who handles the registration purchases
    now, originally was going to charge me FULL price, even though I had
    previously registered IREX before. Charles said "that overcharge wasn't necessary".

    And when I upgraded to the 1000 node version, BMT Micro had problems
    sending me my registration information. I emailed Charles directly and
    the next day he forwarded my registration info to me via email.

    Unfortunately, now it looks like his cruden.ca domain email is starting to bounce now. Too bad, really. :(

    Robert,

    Unfortunately, now it looks like his cruden.ca domain email is starting to RW>bounce now. Too bad, really. :(

    Really is. So much software for the BBS (Doorgames, Utilities, BBS
    packages, etc.) is now basically "abandonware".

    And that's sad, too. I've decided that if I ever give up the entire BBS
    thing, I might just consider giving out the sources to all my wcBASIC stuff. But, until then, I am going to keep pluggin' away :)

    Well, if one runs Wildcat! and WT-LORD, they can now get registration
    codes for WT-LORD for free now :)

    Well, I'm running Virtual Advanced, and have my codes, and am happy
    on both counts.
