All,
I'm pleased to announce that I am now again able to generate registration keys for my first (and only) BBS door, BigWins Lotto, which I originally wrote as a teenager in 1994.
Those of you who've seen my messages on various Facebook BBSing groups know
that after Tom Swartz of Danger Bay BBS contacted me over the summer about the
door, I decided to see if I could generate keys once again. Unfortunately,
the QuickBASIC code to the door was lost after I went to college in 1996, and
I wasn't able to figure out how to generate keys for the version of
BigWins Lotto that's most extant on the Internet (1.00).
After trawling around in hex editors and debuggers, in November 2020 I created
a patched version of the BigWins Lotto executable (1.10) for which I could generate keys. Now, a month later, I've finally created a website where folks can get keys of their own without having to email me or ping me on Facebook.
You can download a copy of the door, and create a (free) custom key, here:
