AOL 3.0 is Back (DRAFT, 6/5/22)

I've recently joined the RE-AOL team - which has just successfully
reverse engineered aolserver for AOL 3.0. It was done by a Canadian
programmer named Zip. It's written in Python, a language he taught
himself for this project -- making it his first Python project ever.

For a deep technical dive join our discord server and ask us
questions.

TL;DR It's now possible to "Sign On" to AOL 3.0 in 2022. Here's a
screen shot:

"Welcome!" "Welcome!"

The backend of AOL, or rather the forms embedded in its client, are
written in a scripting language from 1991 aptly named FDO91. It is
poorly documented but we work with what we've got. We're actively
trying to get VPD/Rainman running for easy form design, but using
notepad in the meantime with assets pulled from various main.idx
files from old C:\AOL30\ installs. It's a challenging process
overall.

"You've got spam!" "You've got spam!"

If you want to sign on, join our discord @ https://discord.gg/reaol
and check out the #setup-and-get-connected channel. It contains
installers for both 16 and 32 bit versions of AOL 3.0 with the
tcp.ccl files modified to point at our Python aolserver, as well as
applying the necessary compatibility settings. We're currently in the
Alpha phase of development and non-Guest account logins are presently
restricted to early adopters. There are currently only a handful of
registered Screen Names.

I plan to add to this entry -- so feel free to bookmark it and check
back at a later date for updates.

P.S. My Screen Name is "God" so don't forget to add me to your Buddy
List and send me an IM. We also have functioning chat rooms. Have
fun.
