I don't know if Richard is running TBBS or not. It doesn't matter because
TBBSNC works just like XLAXNODE - it *is* XALXNODE to all intents and purposes,
but with additions to work with TBBS (which one doesn't have to use if one is
not running TBBS). However the major advantage is that it needs no
registration. It was issued free to TBBS users and, presumably, eSoft paid a
royalty to Scott. But since eSoft has washed its hands entirely of TBBS all the
TBBS software is appearing for download free of charge from several servers.

Best wishes, David
