    From Buckaroo Banzai@VERT/INFINITY to All on Fri Mar 31 15:51:51 2017
    If anyone is interested, I have several projects, all available at SourceForge, that I'll willing to take some collaborators on.

    The first on is called Wycker and it is a BBS Log Analyzer, Archiover and Stats generator. https://sourceforge.net/projects/wycker/ THis one is what I am currently working on and it about 75% complete.

    Next is Serenity and it is a TinyTic/Allfix replacement. https://sourceforge.net/projects/sbbs-serenity/ Haven't started coding on this one yet.

    Next is CorpWars. This is a BBS Door game along the lines of ShadowRun with a few twists. https://sourceforge.net/projects/corpwars/ It is meant to be qa console game and I have not yet started coding this one either.

    Lastly is Firefly. It is meant to be a replacement for Argus/Radius/Taurus. https://sourceforge.net/projects/ftn-firefly/ I have the last code release for Taurus and am looking at converting it from Delphi into Free Pascal/Lazarus and then updating an adding to it.

    I can be reached here, or at Split Infiinty (infinity.synchro.net) or at steven.sheeley@gmail.com

    Convert to Free Pascal from Delphi (If I am not mistaken it should work
    well as the FPC compiler has a Delphi mode.

    Depending on how my relearning goes, I might be interested in taking a look down the track. Bit early now, but in time.

    Convert to Free Pascal from Delphi (If I am not mistaken it should work
    well as the FPC compiler has a Delphi mode.

    Sounds like FreeBASIC as well: has a "QBasic" mode to compile QBasic code.

    I apologize, I am more fond of BASIC than Pascal. I read Delphi Pascal once, only to conclude that it was not the application that was the problem, but the server that was the problem; so, never wrote in Pascal.

    It is interesting to see that Pascal is still being used to this day; even
    with Free Pascal and Lazuras (spell?) IDE.

    Code it, script it, automate it!

    Yeah. It's still used. Atleast Delphi is but I know there are many still doing Pascal (but yeah).

    Interesting. :)

    I preferred Pascal. At the time, BASIC was still an interpreted language. Compilers came along later, other than a couple of lesser known ones. By the time a BASIC IDE and nice, structured version came along, I was firmly in the Pascal camp.

    Yep. :)

    In the early days of Pascal it was interpreted but that changed (for the better too).

    Yeah, interpreted Pascal was before my time though, but compiled BASIC came much later. There was an early DOS BASIC compiler (BASCOM.EXE IIRC) that worked, but it wasn't that common, and I can't recall if there were any limitations compared to using GWBASIC.
