I had not heard of this door until recently.  Gave it a try and it 
REALLY IS a nice door game.  Different than most that I've seen, and I'm 
happy to have it installed now on my BBS.  Very easy to set up on 
Synchronet running under Linux (using dosemu).

I also did this and was very impressed with the speed at which my 
registered version arrived.  Thank you, Glenn, for showing this door and 
being so willing to promote and register it.  Greatly appreciated!
