Again, they are referring to a recent modification for the source code of 
WWIV 4.21a which does make the BBS multiline, so multiple users can use the
BBS at the same time, and all data, such as user records, messages, email,
xfers, chains, are all shared by all nodes.

Multiline WWIV does now exist, but only recently.
