Net Runner Legal Key Gen

Rob Jacob released a freeware Key Generator for NetRunner today, after reading a recent post at the Archives that said he vanished, he contacted PCM to let him know hes still alive and well.

You can download both the keygen and the NetRunner door here:

Net Runner
Key Gen

Or of course you can always get them directally from the archives.

Rob is currently working on porting NetRunner to the Web. Due to someone else using the name NetRunner for their own product, Rob has desided to change the name of the web version to MatrixRunner. He currently has an alpha version running, but its still in the early stages of development.

NetFoss!

After a year and a half pause, NetFoss is now back in development!

Version 0.9 was released last night, which adds compatibility for several doors with braindead FOSSIL support, as well as some minor enhancments to improve overall performance. It's using the redesigned Communication Engine, (formerly available only as an experemental beta) which delays writes by a fraction of a second to cause larger TCP/IP packets to be sent.

NetFoss is a freeware telnet FOSSIL driver for Windows 2003/XP/2000/NT4, which is fully compatible with the Level 5 FOSSIL specifications, and also includes support for the X00 enhanced FOSSIL functions. Because its written entirly in ASM, its considderably smaller and faster then other FOSSIL drivers.

NetFoss is currently in need of new beta testers. Since development restarted two weeks ago, only a handful of the former beta testers are still active. There is a signup form on the homepage in case you are intrested.

Ultrasoft

The Ultrasoft doors were awsome, nice animated ANSI, and user interaction.

I have been doing some email correspondence with Steve Hansen of Ultrasoft the last few days. Though Steve does not want to release his source code for others to work on, I think I have sparked an interest so he may take these games out of retirement and get them updated to run with telnet.

I have put him in touch with Bryan since he had many questions on converting his doors and we know Bryan is "da man".

Put him on the right track Master Bryan and we hope to see these doors available again to the BBS community.

Steve said they should have a new website online in about 30 days where all their doors can be downloaded, so I'll keep you posted... of course I will also make them available at BBSFiles.com when the time comes.

Bingo !

Marty Blankenship has updated the WilsonWare Door - Bingo! for BBSFiles.com.

It is now posted in the WilsonWare list of doors @ BBSFiles.com

As the WilsonWare Doors are converted/updated, they will come with a non expiring DEMO key. This means registration is not required to use the door, and there are no limitations in the door, but it will only be $5.00 to register converted/updated doors.

Registering the door will make you feel good, help offset the cost to obtain and update these doors, and display your BBS name in the door instead of DEMO COPY.

The Pit!

Hope to god this is not a april fools joke. Taken from http://www.bbsfiles.com GOOD LUCK DOUG!

The Pit - programmer: James Berry - last contact: 04/01/04
This one is AWSOME !!! I spoke to James' sister today, Laura. For those that didn't know, James passed away at the age of 31 about 5 years ago. A blood clot went to his heart and he is off working on the BIG program for the Master Programmer. Laura was proud that someone wanted her brother's source code and feels that James would love to have the door continue on in the BBS community. She says she has boxes of diskettes and lots of files on the computer. She's a bit timid around the computer, so may call to have me help her get some data off of it. And if she gets the okay from mom, she will send me the diskettes. Let's hope mom doesn't mind. We promise to honor the code and only make the door better and keep all James' ideas in place.

More Author Contact.

Here are the latest news bites from Doug Rhea:

Thunder Valley - programmer: Bud Younke - last contact: 03/29/04
After months of digging through the basement he finally found some source code... not sure if it's the most current or not, but a start. He is going to send over the source he has, PLUS the source to Raptor BBS. (it was a Renegades clone)

-----

Yankees & Red Necks - programmer: Paul Lewis - last contact: 03/27/04
You can get this door from the Misc section to the left and send an email to request a key. We now have the keygen software. I have not had any luck getting it to run under Synchronet for some reason, at least with verion 1.08. It runs at the console but not for the remote user. Biohazard says he has it running, and I tried his settings, butit didn't work for me. I don't know the version he is using yet, but the keygen only works for veriosn 1.07+. It should run with most any BBS with a fossil. - update - Biohazard is running v 1.05 and if I run it, it works fine with Synchronet... but thus the regcodes do not work.

-----

Arena of the Ancients - last contact: 03/27/04
We now have a generic key for this door. You can download it from the Misc section to the left and send an email for the key. Currently the door will register to:
Sysop Name: Freeware
BBS Name: All BBS
The programmer did not want to release the keygen software, so that's the best we can do.
