A Clockwork Orange OS/2 ======================= "This BBS was a continuation of "Valhalla" (217-352-3682) after I relocated from Champaign to Chicago in the summer of 1993. For the first nine months, it was part-time, because I lived in a University dorm and had only one phone line. Due to the limited hours, it did not have much of a local user base - it primarily existed so I could stay in contact with my friends in the WWIV sysop community. When I moved into an apartment where I could install an additional phone line, I requested a number where the last three digits spelled out "OS2". With this move, it did gain some more local users, but its primary purpose was the distribution of my software and maintaining contact with other WWIV sysops. My handle was "Starship Trooper", and WWIVNet address was "1@3250". I continued to work on several WWIV-related utilities that I had begun developing in Champaign. One of these was a network spool file editor for OS/2 Presentation Manager GUI. In January of 1995 I took a job as sysadmin at a local ISP. After that, I had little time to maintain the BBS at home or to work on its software. I turned over the source code and distribution rights for my WWIV utilities to a sysop in St. Louis. The BBS went down permanently in late April, 1995." - Matt Hucke Phone : 312-226-0672 Years : 1993 - 1995 Sysop : Matt Hucke Software: WWIV Listed by telephone number, as they all were.
