I realize it's a long shot but is there anyone out there who knows of
a simple (text/room-based) Citadel or Cit-style BBS software you can
run on OSX?

So, Citadel is maintained in this form:

http://www.citadel.org/doku.php

There is a link on the download page to Source.  I am guessing this
can be compiled on OS/X and the only reason a package isn't available
is because no one has taken the effort to create one.

What operating systems are supported?

> Citadel is intended to run on any Unix-like operating system. The
primary development platform is Linux, running on 32-bit Intel. It is
also known to work on Solaris (version 8 or newer), FreeBSD (version
6.0 or newer), OpenBSD (version 4.0 or newer), and Mac OS X (version
10.1 or newer).

The link to the source is currently broken.  Probably you could just
compile it if you nudge the Citadel gods to fix the link.

There are (were?) Cit flavors available for practically any OS.
Surely there are MS-DOS, Apple ][, C64, etc emulators for OSX that
could then run the Citadel software?
