Hi, Angus...

AM>IIRC, I had a QRZ disk years ago, and it came with fairly basic software

  You can still run QRZ from a DOS prompt...just have the CD in the
drive, and type qrz <enter> at the prompt. I think it's up to version 25
now.

AM>Both of these sound, once more, like they wouldn't be that hard to
  >reimplement.

  Unfortunately, my programming ends at my VCR.

AM>ARPD is over 10 years old, but you might try contacting the author:

  I've talked with him about it, and I think his website (at least for
his "web BBS" kept getting hacked into, that he shut that down. I can't
recall what he said with the doors themselves, but he noted in the docs
that "fossils are ignored". I even found a freeware DOSINT14 deal I got
from Tactical Software awhile back when I was trying COM/IP (which did
not work with my setup)...but DOSINT14 didn't work either.

  I can get the stuff to display over Synchronet, but they "don't pause
for input". FWIW, I don't think Dave is going to do much further
development with his stuff...I hope I'm wrong. I spend most of my ham
radio time now on VHF packet.

Daryl, N5VLZ
