Legally got my code before Ben. Requirement was not to use QuickBBS as the 
name. However, after speaking with Ben, finding out he lost 2.90+ source... I 
debating on grabing the trademark and spinngin QuickBBS back up - synchronize 
the 2.9 changes to my 2.8 source - and release it.

However, my agreement with Steve was when my company bought the source was not 
to step on the QuickBBS Team's shoes. My code base is much smaller, as I 
droppped OPRO, APRO, OO, QWIK, etc. And replaced all of that cdoe with 
assembly. For example, QCONFIG was 341kb, mine is just under 100kb. Similar 
look, but, dropped all the (p)OOP. ;-)

I would have no heartache in co-authoring with Ben... last time (about a year 
ago+) we spoke - he didn't seem to care about the 16bit world forward. And 
since I wrote my own compilers - I didn't care to go Delphi or Free Pascal.
