      From: eric@e-selex.com              But I think sites like "The Underdogs" have a point in providing Abandonware       for free because even if I wanted to obtain a paid registered copy of TW2002       for MajorBBS (which was put out by High Velocity Software, which is no       longer in operation or contactable), I couldn't because any means of getting       a PAID registration code were dashed when HVS folded.              I say this because I even emailed the current maintainer of the TW2002       source code, who is activly developing it and inquired about the MBBS       version. When he was given the source code, nothing in it included the MBBS       version.              So for all intents and purposes, TW2002 for MajorBBS is gone forever.              The only people who are going to make money on it will be the Sysops who       sell THEIR registration codes.              So you feel that even though it's now IMPOSSIBLE (unless I hire a PI) to get       a registered copy of TW2002 for MajorBBS, that from here until the end of       time the BEST any people setting up a board can hope for is a demo version?              Come on now.              - E.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
