Great, thanks, I'll have a look. I've found versions for DOS and CP/M, so
I'll see if any of those have source.

hah, you haven't been tempted to try and dig it out to see how far you've
come? :) I know some things are best left buried. I wrote some stuff back
in the day for the Amiga and I thought it was best left behind. Until my
friend that I sold all my retro gear to started asking me about my demos
and code that he found on my disks. haha

I actually found the original source for WWIV. It was written in GW
basic. I must have looked at it a long time ago and written it off
because I couldn't read the tokenised code.. But yesterday I found a
python program that de-tokenised it and now it's readable, so I have
that. :)
