- Use newzap, or any text editor and go through the cnet aux-handler for version
- 1.99 or lower, its plain as day. Copyright by Steve Drew. Thats gotta be
- proof there. As for the 'C' icon, its flawed the same way as the original
- code is, you cant possibly think that Ken liked it so much he copied the bugs
- too eh? Sounds like cut and paste to me. I am not accusing him of anything,
- just stating fact. He was trying to dis-credit our BBS by saying "rip-off",
- this user who posted that message on Future World must have understood the
- real idea behind CNet, take it as you want. I think the user was right
- though, about saying CNet can NEVER dis-credit any other BBS by calling it a
- "Cnet rip off", when you put the competition's BBS in your own manual and tell
- everyone that it is the same as it, you have no leg to stand on when it comes
- to originality. Perfect example., I have people calling me saying Ken and his
- friend are talking up the new "HIGHLIGHT BAR" selector. ITs been in
- EXCELSIOR! from day one, he stole it from the DEMO, that previous message was
- just proof thats all. LIke I said, take it as you see it. I just hope Mr.
- Drew gets his justice, god knows there's enough evidence floating around.
- (hundreds maybe even thousands of copies of cnet 1.99- out there).
