Any projections as to the release date? (^_^)

Oh, well. It was a pie-in-the-sky dream, anyway. 127 lines ought to be
plenty for anyone. (^_^)

Well, I understand that DLG allows message bases to be intermixed, so that
a BBS user can read messages imported from either UseNet or FidoNet without
seeing a difference. I was also thinking in terms of 'gating' UseNet
messages into FidoNet, which have two separate and distinct message formats
– crossover might be difficult.
For strictly the FidoNet end, using the TrapList.library for nodelist
support would be something I'd strive for. Also, having an account for
each user that is debited each time he sends a NetMail message (Matrix
Message) (DLG and some other BBS software calls this a 'NetMail Credit'
system), so that the user knows just how much it costs the SysOp to send
his message to his buddy's BBS in Japan. (^_-)
How would BBX fare for non-programmers like myself? I'm only just
starting to learn the basics of ARexx, and have yet to master the DO loop.
