Oops, wish you had spoken to me. I've ported all of these already.

Note: Robowars is an Elwynor product -- already available for download on my website (for years now).

The others I don't own so I can't distribute.

all i do is port them in my spare time, dont really distribute anything hence i took the file archives down, getting a bit tired of the ownership battles over 20 year old software who owns this who owns that, what is safe to put up for download what is not, gets tiring and quite frankly takes all the fun out of it.
not saying anythign towards you, just i think all this is to a point where if i dont get a little enjoyment out of it i have to ask myself whats the use?

Actually, I like the idea of some new original products. While the older products may have been fun, the current crop of potential users don't know about them to relate to them the way we might, and times have changed with new interests out there.

problem is noone puts out any ideas of something they want, all ya get is titles of old products, and there isnt too many developers gonna invest too much time into something new if there is no audience for it, ya get the same ole requests ...

Trivia, Tele-Arena, MajorMud.

Actually I would like the following; some of which I had in 5.1.

1)A module allowing users to enter their BBS site/HTTP site.
2)Guest Book
3)A bare MUD engine with utilities to create rooms/maps, NPC's, edit players, item editor/creator, a scripting function/language for rooms, traps editor, quest editor, and if possible, the ability to have the MUD reset/reload without shutting down the BBS. And of course ANSI/ASCII color etc.; ability to change worlds easily - perhaps putting everything in a directory instead of adding in to the multitude of BBS files.
4)Better integration with the website on these modules.

Oh, did I mention a blog module; http and terminal as well as a http and terminal bulletin/login feature?

I'm full of ideas; I just can't wrap my brain around betrieve and the .dll module format the bbs uses; at least not yet.

willing to work with you on any of the above.

Does it allow play via the web in lieu of terminal mode?
