DS> How long have you been running TriBBS?
 
I went online offically 06/29/92. I first started this BBS in Tampa, Fl 
which I was first TriBBS board to become registered (# 152). Because 
TriBBS was new this this area, many people quickly became interested in 
TriBBS and started setting it their own BBS. It wasn't too long 
afterwards I sorta was pushed into becoming a TriBBS support board for 
those who wanted realible TriBBS, DV & QEMM & General Modem support.
After about one year, Mark Goodwin told me that Florida had become his 
number one state for registrations thanks to my support. I have always

in July of 1993 to be closer to my family, and get a new area started 
on the TriBBS trend!
 
DS> Why did you program TriSort?
 
I have always like databases to be sorta in a neat and orderly fashsion 
I guess, that is the biggest reason why I made TriSort. TriSort is now 
at v3.1 which will allow a sysop to sort Users, File areas & Message 
Conferences. To me, a nice sorta area of data is always easier for not 
only sysops, but users as well wanting to go through and find 
something.
 
DS> Why did you program BBS Statistic?
 
Well, without mentioning any other names of software or authors, I had 
used some kinda like my program and waited a long time for updates for 
better screens and hopefully a database so a sysop can trim or delete 
their callers whenever they choose. It never came about so I set out to 
develop and write such a program. I sincerly hope that my programs will 
give other authors the inspiration to start writting more professional 
and more involed programs like my newer ones so it will give TriBBS

available today.
 
DS> How long have you been programming for TriBBS?
 
My first program for TriBBS was release 05/12/93 with Dirlist v1.0. 
This is a Screen generator for making custom change File area screens.
Last version of Dirlist was v4.0, curretly working on a major upgrade 
to v5.0 now...
 
DS> How many programs have you made for TriBBS?
 
Let's see, not a whole lot compare to many others. I have currently:
 
HotFiles v2.1 - A Hottest Files Downloaded Trakker
HotDoors v1.2 - A Hottest Doors Trakker
Bstats v1.2   - BBS Statistical Trakker 
Dirlist v4.0  - Custom screen generator for "Change file areas"
MsgList v2.0  - Custom screen generator for "Change Mesage Conferences"
TriSort v3.1  - Sorts Most major internal TriBBS file Structures
!Users  v1.0  - Takes users information and prints 4 to a page in a 
                nice formated, margined for binder.

DS> How many years of experience do you have for programming?
 
I have been into computers since 1987, I started taking a year in 
Autocad. Didn't make too much money in that so I went on to take a two 
year degree in Computer Science and programming. I finished in early 93 
and started writting any thing that would work...<G> Most of my 
experince came from after the move to Alabama where I had the time and 
piece and quiet to think out logic and work on ideas. I don't get to 
write as much for TriBBS, because I write databases for local area 
Businesses now which keep me busy, plus I do other work, like build 
computers, raise Mini Dachsunds, and finally do land developing during 
the summer. So I stay pretty busy..
