The Cellar Door BBS will be CLOSINGon or about the 28th of APRIL
and appearing again in Northern Virginia in short time.

It's been an absolute PLEASUREproviding the Cellar Door to everyone who 
has called.

If you are participating in any of the message conferences, please make 
arrangements to get them from one of the other BBS's in this area.

If you pick up the CDOORecho from here, please make arrangments now to 
get it from elsewhere, such as Brandon Carnahan or your regular Fido 
Feed.  The next CDOR mods will be released before the BBS closes and
you should be able to get them from any of the several CDOR distribution 
sites.

Once again, I have really enjoyed the calls - nearly 30,000 in the past 
4 years.  Best wishes to all and Ihope to see you soon in the future.

Dan Drinnon
Sysop of the Cellar Door


As it says, my family and I will be moving to Northern Virginia this summer, so 
please hang it there as it will probably be June or July before the BBS is 
re-established.

New with these mods are 2 neat things.

First, the blinker built-in shell swapping has been replaced with a public 
domain module which works very well.  This swapper actually takes LESS program 
code space than Blinker did!  Only CDEX, CDCP and the source provide the new 
swap routine.  Blinker is still used with the precompiled overlay versions.

Second, I wrote a little ANSI emulation module so you do not need any ANSI.SYS 
or related driver for color, cursor postioning or any other ANSI function.  You 
still need to tell RBBS you WANT "ANSI" in CONFIG though, but other than that, 
you should notice it being about 20% faster than the old ANSI module which used 
BIOS writes with DOS INT 10H.

If you need to get in contact with me, please use the CDOOR echo on Fidonet.  I
will be picking up mail from there periodically.
