    From Vincent Coen@2:250/1 to All on Tue Jan 25 13:28:48 2022
    Hello All!

    VIA_SOFT has been dropped here as VIASOFT_SUPPORT is its replacement.

    ADEPT_SYSOP has also been dropped it was dead as the software was abandonware over 15 years ago and there are no sources available to the two differing products. It was dead anyway.

    I have the AdeptXBBS source code here but it is such a terrible mess that someone deeply steeped in OS/2 C programming would have to fix it. The last person that was really knowledgeable in AdeptXBBS passed away many years ago, sadly.

    If it is NOT XSRC_117.ZIP or .RAR etc nor XDEV, XDOC & XEXE could you send it to me ?

    The above is the original system XBBS which was used as the basic source for Adept but was heavily changed as ORION and the other AdeptBBS v1.11Y etc.

    I am most annoyed as I did the sources for both distributions but I transfered them to a CD and posted them for other sysops but have lost the CD's - well I cannot find them and my system does not have them for what ever reason but could have been when I migrated from Adept to Maximux and then mbse having given up on OS/2 after IBM dropped development at v4.5 or v4.6 and passed dev to those idiots in the Netherlands despite some of us offering to take it on and remove the Microsoft codebase (original Windows code) thing was useless
    any way.

    Slowed the system down terribly if running any Windows applications using it.


    Thanks,


    Vincent
