          FOR THE RECORD:

The "Authors" of Citadel, as listed in the FISH description of the program
are NOT the authors of the Citadel program!
    ^^^

They are the authors of the AMIGA VERSION, not of Citadel itself.  Citadel
was the brain-child of Jeffrey S. Prothero some 10 years ago in CP/M.  He
is here at the UW on glia.biostr.  The program was the first of its kind
in a world of linear BBS's.

Please, Mr. Fish, correct your records so that they do not imply erroneous
authorship.  Citadel is one H*ll of a program, and credit for it's original
and innovative design should not be taken away from the original author.

And, yes, I have first hand knowledge of this because I worked on the
original program with Jeff when it was in beta test at ICS on Bainbridge
Island, Wa. back in 1981/2.


Thank you...

Crystal
