Well that's what I started to think, but in doing so it's hard to know where
to draw the line.  Was starting to think the best way would be to just cut it
right down but save an original menu in the BBS menus so anyone could look at
the unfetted version. 

I also figured if we offered a current version of the Mystic installer then
anyone who really wants to play BBS can get their hands on the untouched
version to install and play with anyway.

Thanks :-) For me first step is to just configure something basic that will
offer Fido NZ echoareas and access to Fido nodelist and snooze in the file
area of the BBS.

Labour day fun :-)
