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
