Com/Ip V 4 Released.
COM/IP version 4 is about to be released.
The main difference in v4 is support for user authentication, using either the windows credentials, or a unique login/password. This is not needed for BBS sysops, but COM/IP's primary market is the business
community.
As of version 4, COM/IP is now licensed by the number of COM ports you wish to virtualize. Previous versions of COM/IP allowed up to 256 COM ports to be defined for one low price, but now the (more expensive) base price of $95 will include support for only one COM port!
Version 3 users can "upgrade" to a Version 4 license that supports 4 COM ports at no charge. If a user wishes to use additional COM ports under version 4, they will have to pay the difference.
Any BBS Sysop that currently owns a COM/IP v2 or v3 license should hang on to it, as they are now worth a small fortune since they support 255 ports. The new price for a 16 port v4 license is $545.

Ambroshia V3 Update
Homepage of Ambroshia: Test of Time - Door Game
Taken from the Ambroshia web site.
Hey Hey, long time with no update. As of this time Michael Preslar has had the source code and began porting Ambroshia v2.01 to DOS. However, I have not heard from him in a while concerning the progress. As soon as I hear something, I will post ASAP.
Ambroshia v3 is in the works, and as of right now there is NO date for a release. I am doing a TOTAL REWRITE of the entire project in C++ using Opendoors 6.20. The reason for this is simple.
You can read the whole entry from the above website.

Vagabond Software: DoorStats Version 2.0 Released
Vagabond Software: DoorStats Version 2.0 Released
I was told of a bug in doorstats. So I fixed it, and as well I released a new verison. (Turns out there was a lot of things wrong with it.)
Since I went so far as to release a new version I also released the source code to it. It is yet another one of my BASIC doors, so you will need VBDOS 1.0. I did not read through the source on this one and as well it is not commented so if you do take a look at it dont laugh.

Request From Manning
www.MannSoft.ca
Posted on Mannsoft.ca
"I've been working on a new release of GameSrv for awhile now. Progress has been slower than I would like, but it's getting there. Over the past few weeks I've received quite a few suggestions, some of which have been implemented, some of which are still on the TODO list. Or I should say were. I recently lost the list, so Im asking anyone who made a suggestion to hit the contact link off to the right and re-submit it. Thanks"

Deuce Ports Doors to Linux
Taken from PCM's BBS Software Development News
Stephen Hurd (better known as Deuce) has ported several popular DOS doors to *Nix during the past few weeks, including:
The Clans
NewYork 2008
FreeVote
LastWord
Dragon Lance
Leech
Star Clash
Solar Warrior
Paranoia
The doors were ported using the OpenDoors door development kit, and the sync XPdev.
Deuce says they will compile under either Linux or Win32, though no Win32 binarys have
been released yet (Deuce does not run Windows).
Deuce is looking for more doors to port, so if you have the source to any DOS based doors you would like to see ported, you can usually reach him on irc.thebbs.org in channel #bbs.

Tournament Trivia
Tournament Trivia is a new 32-bit doorgame for Bulletin Board Systems! Players compete with each other in real-time, trying to be the first to answer the current question. Scores add up from day to day, and are reset at the end of the month, with one player emerging victorious. Unlike older trivia doors, Tournament Trivia has a brand new question database on modern topics. The game also offers an excellent multi-node environment that functions like a chat room. Per the e-mail I received today, Evan plans to release this exciting new game in just two more days (July 4, 2003)!
DTR & Godspeed,
