yeah, I see telegard and a lot of other code clips in Nexus.
george was doing just like a lot of other programmers back then,
trying to make a good system out of alot of other systems.
only original one I saw was shotgun, and he quit because bbsing was dying.
I have that source too, but he used a few tool kits you can't find anymore.
