How ever, it is more likely that the Author/programmer has left fido / bbsing

I will admit that I made a copy of the reg. keys in a special folder and 
copied
that over along with many other whenever I upgraded the system and from DOS
that was over 30+ years ago as I switched to using OS/2 and again around 25+
years ago switched to Linux.
