making around 688 changes to the code that Matt gave me (he made DragCit 3.11 | |||

most) of them. There were some contributions, but I did maintained most of it, | |||

DragCit 3.12 was released, and Matt got interested. He again made DragCit | |||
compilable by Microsoft C, and started fixing bugs and adding features. There | |||
was a lot of development sharing between GremCit and ACit among the current | |||
"GremCit Team". I was fairly conservative with my changes, Brent was fairly | |||

development dwindled. Matt spent plenty of hours on GremCit development. | |||
GremCit was getting developed faster than ACit, and some BBSes were switching. | |||
