	Among other new things, this issue we are gonna take a look at some
   of our very prolific utility programers. With these people, TriBBS would
   not be the program it is today. Whether you want to have a bulletin
   showing users how much your BBS is used, or somthing to help you manage
   the day to day operation of your BBS, These are the people who do it.
       This Issue, we are gonna look at Keith Kolbo. Keith runs Falcore
   BoatWorks Remote Access in Orlando Florida. He has been using TriBBS
   since March of 1992 and registered with an early 109 in April. Keith
   started programing just before he switched to TriBBS in Fed of 92
   learning first C, then C++. Since then, he has put out several great
   utilities that have come in very handy (at least on Imagine they have.
       Among his "Works of Art" include:

       SOCIAL.XXX       Social Even Poster. A Test Program written as an
			exercise to learn file I/O in 'C'. Using DOORWAY it

			hours for extra long logons ?
       PAGSCRN.XXX      Page Bell Screen -- From LOGON.BAT checks the users
			name against a list. Then turns on or off the page

	   As you can See, Keith has been quite busy. And to think, He got
    his first IBM type computer back in Nov 91. That a long way in such a
    short time.
	   So, what has Keith got planed for the future, well, its all a
    big secret, or so he says. All I've been able to find out is it will be
    a "State of the Art" door game like no other we have ever seen !!
