Google search will come up with a few sites having the zeus files. I came
across a couple that even had key files for download. (This was as recent
as a few weeks, and I'm not going to share.)

The zeus demo on aminet makes it look really good, and the software does
do a good job, and it has many great fetures.... BUT there are many
_unfixed bugs_, and frankley the auther has given up acting on them or
fixing them. 

One of Zeus's selling point's is that 99% of things are sysop
configurable, as many support parts of the bbs are written using rexx.

Personally I hate the user interface to CNet, even though the software is
getting updates. The same can be said about Ami/x. Ami/x was caterd and
heavly used in the "wares" sceen.
