When it first came out, I too thought they were talking about a new dropfile format. What is really the case is a whole new way of programming a door. They shouldn't have named the format like that of an existing dropfile format. It should have been something completely different. It's kinda like g00r00 naming his telnet client Netrunner. When I first heard about that, I thought he was talking about the doorgame called NetRunner. Two completely different proggies. -Regards, Darryl Perry Sysop, Cyberia BBS .
