Of course - I guess I'm holding onto the old days and keeping a piece of
history alive (DOS app, running on a 32bit OS, on top of a 64bit hypervisor
with virtual comm ports) - Completely cobbled together, after all, this is
how we all got into BBS's right? Just making 'stuff' work was all part of
the fun of it. Searchlight Software ceased to exist in 1999, I'll be one of
the last men standing.
