Where was that located, and... I dunno I think I *might* remember it. But, I
often have that happen when I'm wrong... being 40 and all. :/ Jeeez. I do
remember using RipSCRIPT at the end, and *I* didn't love it because of the
way it drew the graphics... like vector by vector; shape by shape... 

What software did you board use (Or implement to give graphics to the users)
I'm not familiar with tye software..


Sounds neat tho.. I do remember I got internet from a BBS back in the day,
before I got a shell account from the University of Toledo (hacked, too... or
more like SHARED. Lol.) and used... winsock32? Or tcp/ip to get graphics
shortly thereafter.
