  Do you or anyone else know if B.H. (Pat) Forbes of Humble, Texas (near
Houston) is doing any further updates with his BBS Chess door program?? I was
lucky enough to register mine before he apparently "disappeared"...and the
shareware version of that door is rather old. Do you or anyone else know of a
good shareware chess door one can use on a BBS?? Since I've already got a
door, I'm not going to change it...but I've had some users ask about one. Any
help would be appreciated.

 DA  International Filegate systems on Tuesday 03-24-98.
Surelly this is an off-topic but I'm not sure that a netmail can reach to you
from Argentina. So I send it by this echo, were I found what you said about
Fido Filebone & International Filegate. Really I apologize to you and to the
moderator.
Can you tell me how can I reach those webs (I supouse they'r on the
nternet)?
Thanks so much!!!

  I found Zchess and Prochess, and processed them. But for some reason when I
tried to connect, I never got an EMSI handshake, and my BBS ended up loading
instead, thinking it was an incoming call!! Anyway, I've got them now...not
sure what was wrong.

assistant: I got Prochess and ZChess from Doug Auttig (this echoes moderator)...so,
they're set for download. I'm not going to change the BBS Chess door right
now...especially since it is registered...but hardly anyone plays it anymore.

  If I had more time to get in there, I would...for me, I can go through Al's
Cribbage and Keno doors real quick...takes a bit longer with Dominoes.
