Calling all hoarders!
I have been trying to get my old Fido BBS (circa 1983) running again on my
DEC Rainbow.
The original Tom Jennings code got trashed in a system crash may years ago.
There's bits of it on his BBS but I would need to be a much better C
programmer to have a hope of fixing it.
There are copies on the old Decus site but the un-squeezer's (NUSQ &
NUSQ110) just report errors.
I know about FOSSIL but its FIDO_DEC.exe I'm really after.
Does anybody have or know where FIDO_DEC.exe might be found.

Thanks - Fido now runs and works when run to another system. I just assert
DCD.
Now to interface it with the DECServer200/MC so it can be Telneted to.
My aim is a Telnet BBS using original 80/90's Hard and software.

Is this the copy you were referring to as being "Bad"?
