   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.
