    This section of the Newsletter we will talk about what is new and what
  is old. There has been allot of programing going on since our last
  newsletter, and an old friend has come back to the family.

      Randy Hunt is back on line with the Seldom Idol BBS. For those of you
  who don't know Randy, he is TriBBS #2. Mark and Randy have worked
  together in the past writting the RMDOOR program. Randy has also been
  busy writing his own programs that include the TriBBS Time Bank
  (TriBank), The TriBBS Master File Maker (TriMast) Send Note, and
  ChangePage to name a few. Randy had to leave us a while back due to a
  death in the family, but we are very glad to see him back. You can reach
  The Seldom Idol BBS at 207-843-7957. (U.S. Robotics HST Dual/Standard)

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

	The past couple months have been very busy months for Programers.
  It seems that TriBBS is really catching on. I've noticed many doors now
  include direct support for TriBBS, and other are planing on it.
	I've decided to give a list of some of the third party programs
  that have been release during April and May. If I miss your program,
  please leave me a note in TriBBS Newsletter (on TTN) and I will make sure
  that it is included in the next Newsletter.

      ALIAS15.XXX		    Alias Lister creates a bulletin of all
				     the Aliases on you TriBBS 4.x BBS
				     along with their City and State.
      ALISYS.XXX		     ALISYS is a cool little TriBBS 4.x
				     utility that lists all of the Aliases
				     and their real names on your board.

				     the board, as it is meant for Sysop
				     purposes only.

       I make no promises for any of these files. I have not tested all of
 them so I can not insure they will work. You may get these files on most
 TriBBS support boards, or if this fails, you may call my board at
 813-936-4405. If you have a Front End, and the TTN Node list, You may
 FREQ these files anytime from Imagine.
