I'm curious what parts of WWIV they ended up using, because from an end-user view, those packages seem very different from WWIV. I never used WWIV when it was written in Pascal -- so I don't know how different it was from the C version -- which I am very familiar with.
I think it's only been fairly recently that WWIV has created a menu editing system along the lines of RG/TG.
I really find the history and evolution of these packages interesting.
