That BBS is actually Bdale Garbee's in Colorado Springs. Phil's code is
also available via anonymous ftp from louie.udel.edu.

Phil originally wrote the code in the DOS environment. A Macintosh port 
of it by Mikel Matthews has been around since early this year, and Mikel
is just releasing another version Right About Now. He's getting very busy 
with work, however, so some other hams with Macintosh programming 
experience are going to be helping with further improvements. Some of them
are on the net, so if you have any Macintosh-specific questions, you might
try asking them here. Phil doesn't have a Macintosh himself, so it's 
difficult for him to answer questions about the Macintosh version. 

I'm informally keeping a list of everyone who's planning on helping with
the Macintosh code, so if you want to know who else is doing what, feel 
free to drop me your name and net address. I'm *not* coordinating anything; 
the tradition with Phil's code is that anyone who wants to hack on it is 
utterly welcome to do so. I'm simply trying to keep track of who's doing 
what so that when someone has a specific question, I can say "write to 
so-and-so; he should be able to help." Not being a programmer myself, I
figure this is as good a way as any to make myself useful in promoting
this excellent software. (Yes, I use it myself over amateur radio. I
personally haven't used it on Ethernet or AppleTalk, but I know people
who have.)
