After having a few people ask about it, I've decided to create a stand-alone version of mSyncFos. The version bundled with GameSrv would have worked with other software, but there were a few tricks to getting it working right. This new version should be much simpler to use.

Just uploaded a new copy of MannDoor. No new functionality or anything, I just updated the Virtual Pascal specific units to be compatable with build 279

Chachi (of oddware) has just uploaded v1.0 of his User Feedback door. He wrote it for GameSrv, to give users the ability to communicate with the SysOp.

You can download the file here: feedback.zip

I just uploaded a new version of my old screen saver, Manntrix. It's a "scrolling green characters" type screen saver, and comes with full source code. It'd probably make a good starting point for someone who wants to write their own screen saver.

Just a minor update to point out that the HOWTO page has been added. Thanks to Al Robres for pointing out that it was missing.

If you're reading this, MannSoft is now officially dead. For years I've been typing the name, and never given much thought about it. But a couple weeks ago I actually spoke the name aloud in a conversation, and everyone started laughing. It turns out that most people seem to think MannSoft is a better name for a gay porn site than for a software company. I'd already been pondering the idea of ditching the MannSoft name, so this just helped make the decision for me.

And this is where R & M comes in. It can either be spoken aloud as "R and M Software", or if you put the "R" and "and" and "M" together it resembles the word "Random", so I'll probably pronounce it as "Random Software". It's not really any catchier than MannSoft was, but at least it doesn't have the gay porn site euphemism!
