With the talk in recent threads here about Syncterm, etc., I figured I'd ask
if anyone knows where I can grab a copy of RipTerm in a file area somehwere.

I've looked around on a couple of BBSes, and can't find any nearline archives
of any copies of my own (and I'm a zillion miles from where I actually have it
on tape/diskette).

I've managed to find only a single instance of Searchlight BBS (The Trashcan -
bbs.thenet.gen.nz:2324), and would really enjoy surfing that BBS with RIP
graphics and a mouse :)

It was really refreshing to find an extant instance of Searchlight after all
these years, and the user interface is so nice, even on the cli. It lacked
some of the more popular but sometimes esoteric features of the more prominent
BBS software systems back then, but it was stable and it was easy to integrate
most functionality with 3rd party software.

It was actually just coming into its own, and really gaining in popularity
right around the time that (I can't remember if it was TBBS or RBBS or what)
one of the more prominent systems heralded in the signs of the deathknells
with a product called WorldGroup, IIRC.

Anyway, RIP never got a chance to take a foothold, although it was supported
by Mustang Software and other major BBSes (no pun intended), although
Searchlight was almost singularly unique in that it supported native RIP, even
on the sysops console and you could design in a quasi wysiwyg environment.

Anyway, thanks in advance for any feedback :)
