   My name is Larry Athey and I would like to thank you for your interest in
   BBS Utiliteez Software, "The First" software development company to write
   third party utilities and doors specifically for the Shotgun Professional
   Online Communications Software! Not only was BBS Utiliteez Software the
   first to release utilities and doors for Shotgun Pro, but we were also the
   first to release SVGA utilities for Shotgun Pro. I've been running Shotgun
   Pro since Beta 3.30 and found it to be the greatest graphical BBS software
   there is and I have tried them all...This is the reason that BBS Utiliteez
   Software doors & utilities resemble the Shotgun interface, I'm just trying
   to keep everything on my system looking and working the same.

   I have since come to the conclusion that it is totally pointless to write
   programs that only support one brand of BBS software. Believe it or not,
   a lot of SysOps have this belief that if the program only supports their
   brand of BBS software, it should be free or included as part of their BBS
   software. This is why I no longer write programs specifically for Shotgun
   or specifically for any other brand of BBS software. If I can't make it
   compatible with a multitude of BBS packages, I'm not going to write it at
   all. Believe it or not, I make more money in just one month from a single
   Multi-BBS compatible program than I've made from every one of my Shotgun
   specific programs combined since their release. Do you see the logic?  :)

   As far as suggestions for programs go...I am always open to suggestions
   and ideas for new features so long as they come from the "SysOp" of the
   BBS running the program. If you are the SysOp of the system running the
   program and have an idea for a feature that will benefit other SysOps &
   Users running the program, I'll put it on my "Wish List". If this seems
   to be a popular suggestion, then it will be implemented ASAP. Program
   features are decided on a first come - first serve basis and their level
   of importance to other SysOps and the public. BTW, telling me to Hurry
   is an EXTREMELY bad idea, it only gets you ignored in a hurry....  :)

   * Once again, Shotgun Professional is NOT my program! If the contents of
     this archive is offensive to you in some way or another, please delete
     this file from your hard drive and do not upload it to anybody else...
