I know what you mean Dustin, but don't worry, TurboNet will turn that around
in a heartbeat.  I think everyone is expecting the college students to turn
things around, but I am not so sure myself.  You know the alliance will defin-
ately have an impact.  Just be patient.

8ballwin.zip:   29k: 8ballwin.zip - Magic Eight Ball for
            Windows Version 1.0. Just as the title  indicates, this
            is a version of the famed mystic oracle device in an
            easy-to-use Windows format. Unlike an analog Magic
            Eight Ball, you can  "weight" the M8B for Windows. By
            choosing from the "8Ball" menu, you can  make your ball
            more optimistic, pessimistic, or noncommittal,
            depending on  your mood.
4wins.zip   :   19k: 4wins.zip - 4 WINs is a Windows
            version of the classic Connect 4(TM) game.  Although
            the rules are simple and a match is short (compared to
            Go or  Chess),"4 WINs" is a fascinating game. Two
            players put pieces on a  7-by-6-board, which stands
            upright on the longer edge. Both players put
            alternately a piece of their own colour into one of the
            rows of the board.  The piece falls down according to
            gravity. The goal is to get 4 pieces into a line. All
            directions count (horizontal, vertical and diagonal).
            Who can  do this first is the winner. If, after 21
            moves, nobody has won, the game  ends in a draw. This
            program requires the Visual Basic 3.0 Runtime DLL.
Awin220.zip :  430k: Awin220.zip - this program gives you
            a Windows interface for testing,  archiving and various
            other file tasks. The layout is configurable for just
            about all of your configuration and file manipulation
            needs.
Cripwin2.zip:   81k: Cripwin2.zip - Crip for Windows 1.2
            - This program basically "scrambles"  parts of a text
            file that are bounded by the string crip. Once you
            protected the private information, only using crip
            again anyone will be  able to read what was originally
            typed. For the encryption process, the  user can also
            use a  key for setting different types of conversion
            table  used by the program. Crip was originally created
            by me to address messages  to different friends that
            share the same mailbox. Since I usually type my
            messages on a PC and then upload the text file created
            to the Unix network, I experince problems between the
            characters that specify the end of line if I use the
            standard line feed of the PCs.

Wincmd73.zip:  311k: Wincmd73.zip - WCL basically
            simulates the DOS "C\> prompt", but from  within
            Windows or Win-OS/2. The WCL main Window is a small,
            unobtrusive  window which defaults to the top left
            corner of the screen. You can then  run Windows and DOS
            programs by typing their names and pressing <ENTER>,
            just as you would do at the DOS command line. If you
            are running OS/2  version 2.1, then you can also run
            OS/2 programs from within WCL. Some OS/2 programs will
            not run at all, if run from a Win-OS/2 session, and
            some DOS  programs behave quite strangely if run from
            Win-OS/2. Submitted for BBS in  a BOX by Dr. A.

            versions of similar apps floating around, but they all
            require too much effort to do the job efficiently - the

            and LOAD=lines only run or load the  program AFTER
            Windows loads the shell. The two advantages to loading
            your  files as a shell is, No extra programs loaded to
            take up memory and  automatic exiting of Windows when
            exiting the program.

             from his program, I feel it is only fair to give him
            some credit. WNet is a simple network resource manager

 extended character set is necessary to properly display the "line graphics"
 contained in this document.

 Key to Abbreviations

 INET - Internet Access
  NET - Networked BBS (Fidonet, etc.)
  MSG - Local Message Conferences Only
 FILE - File Transfers
  GAM - Online Games
  TBA - To Be Announced

 Systems that offer local, non-networked message conferences are flagged MSG.
 BBSs that are also "networked" with other BBSs are flagged NET.  BBSs that
 offer Internet access in addition to either local message conferences or
 networked BBS services, or both, are flagged INET.  Check the extended
 description for each BBS for detail on scope and services provided.

 Unless otherwise noted, all systems are available 24 hours daily, 7 days a
 week.  All numbers are local to the Denton, Texas, calling area.  Numbers
 with prefixes of 240, 241, 243, 320, 242, 321 and 648 may also be "local" to
 an extended area including Argyle, Bartonville, Carrollton, Denton, DFW Air-
 port, Garland, Grapevine, Irving, Justin, Keller, Lake Dallas, Lewisville,
 Plano, Ponder, Rowlett, and Wylie.  Unless otherwise noted, all systems are
 "dial up" accessible by modem.  The SBI list described below is a compre-
 hensive guide to BBSs and online services that are accessible only through
 an Internet Service Provider.

 This list is also available by File Request (FREQ) from Fido 1:393/11 as
 DT_BBLST.TXT, DENTON.TXT or DENTON anytime except during Zone Mail Hour, or
 by download under the same filenames.  An archive file, DENTON.ZIP, is also
 available.  It contains additional items including a list of discontinued
 local bulletin boards.  The distributed version of the file has the release
 date embedded in the filename for easy identification: dtYYMMDD.txt and
 dtYYMMDD.zip.  This list may be freely distributed as long as it is not
 altered in any way and no fees are charged.  And now under construction, the
 Denton Area BBS List web page http://www.appli.com/user/areabbs/ will soon
 be operational.  You will be able to view and download the list from there,
 as well.

 Other lists available by File Request or download include BIGD.ZIP, DFW.ZIP,
 USBBS148.ZIP, and SBI0996.ZIP (a list of Telnet accessible BBSs).  All are
 also viewable in the "GFile" area on The Mezzanine by hitting G at the main
 menu prompt, then selecting one of the following folders:

                           - BIGD Folder
