Hi Alan,

There were a few problems here... First, Jame Clay left fidonet - he and Kim Heino were the coordinators of the BBBS FDN... Secondly, Kim really did not use Fidonet to release new versions of BBBS, but rather had people download the correct version they needed from his site at bbbs.net, where it remains available for download :)
I can put it back in the list of file echos, I still have the content here for the FDN:

Any preferences? Would you like to contact Kim and see if he'd like to have his product on the filegate list of areas?
Take care,
Janis
