I have been asked so many times over the last 3 weeks to contact door authors I decided to make a notice on it. Here goes.
Door Authors: You probably found this page because someone likes your door and you stopped coding it or just lost interest in BBSing all together, and they sent you here. Or you had an flashback and wanted to see if anyone played your door anymore and you found this.
Well we are still out here. There are many bbs's still around, although Dos support is going away so I decided to make all of you old authors an offer.
It seems that I am not going anywhere anytime soon. Trust me I have tried but I keep coming back. So My offer is to take your code. (Sign any NDA's that you would like) and keep it on THIS site. It would still be YOUR program, all I would do is Keep it active. In Any Language.
Now if you want to keep updates coming out and want someone to maintain it for you I will make THIS offer:
Basic Code: I will compile and update as needed and store on my server. If I ever get around to updating Easydoor and making w32 programs out of it your code will be updated as well. Also I have been working on a NIX port of the door kit, so if I do that then I will also port your door as I port all of my own.
Pascal: I will compile (removing rte errors) and store on my server. I have enough porting projects to last me for a while so I am not planning on doing any more PAS porting in the next couple of months, although when my current projects are done I will always be looking for more. If your door was MAINSTREAM (IE BIG in the Day) I will pay special attention to it to make sure that it does get done. Also your Door will have a permeate Web address for people to download. And will more than likely have a win and Nix port after some time.
C/C++: I will compile and store on my Server. That is about it. I am not wanting to take on any C projects, although I know a few people that will do it for you that will sign an NDA and After they finish I will be more than happy to put it on my server for you. Also my Partner in Crime (Tarix) Might want to do it when his projects are done. So I will get it done for you, although I will not touch the code my self.
Any other language: See C/C++ above.
So if you are an old door author and have that code sitting on your HD and want someone to give it back to the bbs community let me know. You can Email me at v@vbsoft.org. Note there are Rules to this:
1) I will not BUY your code. I will store it and you will remain the author. I will not be paying you.
2) You can not charge for it anymore. I will remove all Reg Code Locks upon Compiling. Come on there is not any more money to be made just give back to the community.
3) You have to keep up to date with me. I don't want you to dump off your code and disappear. I want to be able to email you if I have a question on your code.
That's it.
Sysops and Players. If you want to send this article as a direct link to any door authors that you know, This is the Direct link Address:

Well we have decided to go to open beta on Vs3.
The *nix and *w32 ports are on the vs3 web page and are working.
The Email group has moved so I am not going to post the announcements there, but you are more then welcome to post your comments here or on the vs3 web page in regards to any bug's that you might find. (But there is none of course)

Vagabond Software: General Doors
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.
Pegasus MUD {General Stuff}
Well I got Pegasus Mud back on line. Still have tons of work to do before it is really cool but if you have ever wanted to play a mud now it your chance. We are looking for Builders as well. :)
telnet to: pegasus.bbs.us on port 4000

I was told of a problem with XP and Bible dash. It would start the 15 Second Count Down and it would take 15 min. Fixed it and now it reads the system clock to count down.

Well I found a home for my server. Thanks to everyone that told me that they would host it. As well thanks to the 2 people that took the time to place a phone call to me to tell me that they would host it. It really ment a lot.
Although it is not fully up. The Linux Server (ie: the future home of Pegasus Flight BBS) is now running and you can get to it by going to http://pegasus.bbs.us

I am sorry everyone but Pegaus Flight BBS is closing. It has been opened since 1987 and now it has come to an end. (Well I am hopeing to reopen it later)
It will have to be in storage for a while and because of that it is going out.
Again I am sorry.
