              What Sysops Are Saying About Searchlight 2.25
                 (Actual quotes from version 2.25 users)


Once I made the switch, there was NO way I was going back. Searchlight 2.15
had MANY needed enhancements, and 2.25 is EVEN BETTER! Frank really did a
great job with the new version. The Menu Editor is POWERFUL stuff.

  Rick Rosinski, Midland, MI


Frank REALLY outdid himself on this one. 2.25 is still a dream to set up
(can be done in 15 minutes) and is HIGHLY configurable. Kudos go to our
fearless leader for giving Wildcat! 3.0 something to chew on (and hopefully
choke!)

  Chris Brown, Clinton, MS


Well, I just got the new version set up using the defaults, and from here,
I LOVE IT. Haven't had the chance to work the menu editor yet, as am going
to poll the users as to what they would like to see, but from the docs, it
looks just like what I have hollered that we needed.

  Frank Cooke, Sallisaw, OK


I've got the new version up and running and I'm very pleased. I thought
that 2.15 was good, but this one is just so much more flexible. I am more
than satisfied.

  Douglas Park, Biloxi, MS


I'd just like to take the time to comment that Frank LaRosa outdid himself
again! This new version is fantastic. I've been using it for about 3 weeks
now under beta test... I recommend that if you don't have it, get it, it's
great. And for all Wildcat sysops, look out-- Searchlight is gonna take
over SOON! So you better make the switch while you can!

  John Treanor, West Palm Beach, FL


Frank, I would like to commend you on the greatest version of SLBBS yet!
Totally awesome! Folks, it's worth the mere $30 upgrade fee!

  Chris Herold, Riverside, CA


You have really outdone yourself with SLBBS 2.25. It is, IMHO, the perfect
BBS or pretty darned close to it. It does everything I want it to do,
combines the easiness SLBBS is famous for with the total flexibility I
want; gives me almost all the options and features I as a sysop have ever
wanted, and has the BEST menu editor I have encountered yet. Congrats on a
job well done and thanks for making all my Sysop dreams come true.

  Marge Robbins, Cedar Rapids, IA


Searchlight 2.25 is a major surprise! Even after Frank mentioned the
features it would have, I would have NEVER guessed at its actual POWER
until I witnessed it for myself. Other sysops had called me voice and told
me it was UNBELIEVABLE, but until I had it myself it really didn't faze me
much.

  Timothy Otty, Virginia Beach, VA


Keep up the good work, SLBBS 2.15 was just great, but 2.25 is something so
good I can't say in english! The closer you look at SL, the better it looks!

  Aki Talvitie, Espoo, Finland

Give me a break! Your post is about at the same marketing level as the
"Pepsi challenge."  Only letters from satisfied users are ever printed.
The ones from people who were pissed, thought that searchlight was a piece
of crap, and wanted their money back never get printed.  No amount of
glowing praise from "satisfied users" proves diddly squat.  

"They were probably paid testimonials anyway" -- hahahahaha.

******** DONT BUY SEARCHLIGHT!!!!  IT BITES!!! ********
