Yes, I did hatch FWALL22E.ZIP and it is on the DDS site on the web and ftp site. Easiest to find either by going to the freeware area or use the file searcher and enter FWALL and it will pop up. *ruth* --- * Origin: Visit the DDS Web Page - http://www.petpride.org/dds (1:2004/201) --------------- FIDO MESSAGE AREA==> TOPIC: 103 DOOR GAMES Ref: FA300038 Date: 05/26/98 From: RUTH ARGUST Time: 03:07am \/To: RICK GORDON (Read 2 times) Subj: Freebies Hi Rick! > RG> Hmmmm....

If you can't find it, try the file searcher and enter FWALL and it should find it for you and everyone else who is hunting. *ruth* --- * Origin: Visit the DDS Web Page - http://www.petpride.org/dds (1:2004/201) --------------- FIDO MESSAGE AREA==> TOPIC: 103 DOOR GAMES Ref: FA300039 Date: 05/26/98 From: RUTH ARGUST Time: 03:08am \/To: ALL (Read 2 times) Subj: Re: BBS CRASH g about?

As most of you know, I am pretty lenient about topic in this echo. If it has anything to do with a BBS, then you are ok here. Trying as hard as I can, I just cannot see how Area 51 has anything to do with a BBS nor can I see how the US invading or not invading Canada or Canada invading or not invading the US has anything to do with a BBS either. This is a gentle reminder, folks, let's take the political commentaries to another echo and Area 51 may be more appropriate in the UFO echo so long as it is allowed there. Wrap this up now.....

Planet Connect has established new satellites for both of its 19.2 and 128k feeds now. I will begin to hatch out again later today. If anyone receives files via PC and has not moved their dishes to the new satellites, in the meantime, you might want to turn on the ddsfiles listserv so anything hatched into DDSDOORS will come into your email. I will post about how to do that in the next message. Be advised that any files in the DDSEXTRA FDN are not sent out into the ddsfiles listserv at this time. If anyone wishes me to start another listserv for this file echo, let me know asap. *ruth* --- * Origin: Visit the DDS Web Page - http://www.petpride.org/dds (1:2004/201) --------------- FIDO MESSAGE AREA==> TOPIC: 103 DOOR GAMES Ref: FA300042 Date: 05/26/98 From: RUTH ARGUST Time: 03:19am \/To: ALL (Read 2 times) Subj: DDSDOORS via Email The DDSDOORS DDSFiles ListServ Do you get the DDSDOORS file echo?

There are TONS of file distribution networks for various things. FILEBONE.NA/.NO will help you out on that. You should be able to get those files from any FidoNET subscribing BBS. JB> Hehe.
