HAVE REGISTERED 3 OF OUR TRIVIA DOORS.

MANY MANY THANKS -
To JULIE ANNE SMITH and LINDA PARKINSON who spent many hours
putting these wonderfully challenging questions together for
this door. Without help from users/friends like these this door
and some of the future doors would NOT have been possible.
To all our users who tested the early alpha copy and added their
advice and support.
Rickie W. Belitz for making a Door Development kit that was
so easy to use my five year old could figure it out.
To my Children - Jesse Forrest(5), Nicole Loraine(4), Christopher
Hawke(2) and Robert Falcon (5 months) who still love their daddy
even if he does spend a lot of time on that machine.
And last but certainly not least....my wife, Sheila Femyer,
who patiently withstood my time and energy being spent on my
C classes, Programming, and BBS. She stands behind me and gives
me strength and patience when I have totally lost all of mine.
Support -
For non-registered and registered users...our BBS will always have
the latest version available for down-load.
