Patch,

I haven't found much that the linux version can't do.  I would suppose the only
limitation I have found so far is within the stock .bas files not saving data
(to the one liners as an example ..)  RushFan believes that may be a result of
it saving to a .json file and I haven't dug into that yet.  Otherwise I'm
having a blast customzing WWIV.  I'm on the latest Ubuntu, what are you
running?  I'd love to figure things out together?

Also, what are you running for your OLG's?  I'm about to dive into that once I
figure out how to do a login script.  I want to launch a .bas file from within
wwiv.ini's LOGON script that then runs various things such as displaying an
ansi, running oneliners.bas, maybe running a door appropriate for a prelogin
process like "thought of the day," etc..  I don't recall how to do this but
would like to.

Once the aforementioned is done, I have maybe two ANSI's to finish up and then
I can at least open the BBS.  With that said it will be either in absense of
OLG's or maybe will have BBSlink if I can remember how to do it from the last
exploration within WWIV.
