Hi everyone,

As many of you may (or may not know), I have my own line of BBS doors called
Cheepware that I've been working on since 1998.  Nothing fancy but people
seem to like them.  I recently ported them from DOS-only to DOS, OS/2,
Win32, 64-bit Linux, and 64-bit FreeBSD (my BBS runs under FreeBSD).  I am
needing people to "kick the tires" on all of these builds except FreeBSD.

All of my doors and doorkit code will soon be released under the 3-clause
BSD license, which is compatible with the GPL according to the FSF, for your
experimentation.  The dooorkit I am using is a modified version of Manndoor,
written by Rick Parrish originally, with Maarten Berker's ELECOM code
underlying that.

My FreeBSD doors work fine but I want to make sure there's no "oddities" in
the other versions.

The documentation is a bit sparse right now but I am working on that also. 
I am working on a text version first then will create a PDF version.

If you're interested, check out the CHWARE echo which is the main support
echo in Fidonet or MIN_BBS in my network, Micronet.

I write the doors for myself but I have always made them available for
others for their enjoyment.  I have more doors planned but right now I need
to get the basics covered.
