Remarks dated 90Jul05:

   Sheesh! Keeping this history current seems to be the last thing on most of our minds these days. Many things have changed since Hue, Jr. made the last entry above. Auto-Networking was not his last feature to be added. Asgard system originally came into existence when we received the 2.1 source code for the cp/m version in July of 1985. At the time, I was still new to the BBS scene (less than 8 months), and a friend wanted to put up a Citadel. I just happened to have the compiler and the source code, and so began a long trail of changes (and me just learning the C language to boot!). Before I was able to finish compiling the 2.1 version, I was given the source to 2.40. This became the foundation for Sacramento's entry into the development of Citadel changes. 

   In the first few weeks, the major concern was fixing fatal bugs in the code we had received, and adding in additional support for multiple baud rates. Once these were set into place, we (local sysops) began adding additional features we desired such as a global replace option, Xmodem-CRC support, screen control codes (ANSI codes). We quickly found that RAM was limited, so we debugged the BDS overlay code and began adding overlayed features. At the time our local changes were distributed as Sac-Cit 80. Due to a personality conflict with the group of Sysops responsible for Sac-Cit 80, I and a few other sysops broke away from the Sac-Cit group and formed Asgard-80. Late in 1986, I received the source code for Citadel-86. My first task (believe it or not) was to add in features from our Asgard-80 code into Citadel-86. It was at this time that Asgard-86 first came into existence. 

   In addition to new features that were desired, we also streamlined some code that was left over from the Citadel port to Citadel-86 (some of these were later done by Hue, Jr. as well with Citadel-86 as he found them). Any streamlining that we did in the 80 version and found in the 86 version was done at this time.

   So in essence, Asgard-86 software is a direct descendent from Citadel-86 that attempts to keep within 3 months current of any Citadel-86 release, and attempts to offer back changes and features (door code is a good example) in exchange, as well as new features that the programmer and Sysops of Asgard systems desire. I also try and never let people forget that without Hue, Jr. and Citadel-86, Asgard-86 software would not be nearly as far along as it is. 
   Thanks Hue, Jr. for your many contributions and your understanding.
