ok after several and i mean SEVERAL emails requesting this, monday im gonna begin to develop a fully NT compatible galactic empire, just porting isnt gonna cut it cause theres alot of other things going on, so im gonna do it function by function and go over every square inch of the code to ensure all goes smoothly.

i gotta dig up my old cd backups but does anyone have handy an original unmodified GE source code for mbbs handy?

i am, any tips would be great.

initially porting to work for WGNT.

then an upgrade to SQLite over btrieve

then possibly dropping the game code into my socket server i wrote that i use for some addons where people do not want to run a bbs just a game server, i did this with Tradewars II as well.
people still love these old games but cannot find it played anywhere as most wg bbs's run the traditional games Majormud, etc.
