To:    Anyone interested in Door Patch 3.7
From:  Doug Peterson, Author of Bay Street Bulls

Most of us have known for years that the Door Patch library has been
the elite Door writing library.  I personally got in with version 2.4
and saw the program evolve into version 3.5 under the guidance of
Clint Labarthe.

I think that we all were surprised when Clint indicated that he was
dropping support for the program.  It was only until recently that I
found out why.  This superior program, shareware, which allows others
to write doors and ask for shareware donations has only received SIX
registrants.  Now, I know that I am one of them.  That means that of
all the Door Patch doors on the market, there are only five solitary
other people who felt that the product was worth registering.  The
strong point about the shareware concept is that if the program has
illustrated its worth, then it's worth registering.  Certainly, if
you as a door author are receiving registrations, you are obliged to
registered the Door Patch program.

All rights over Door Patch have now moved to Raymond Clements of the
Pegasus BBS.  I have had the opportunity of testing the program before
its release and reporting a couple of bugs.  Let me assure you right
here and now, this program will knock your socks off!  Carefully look
at all of the features.  This is a major upgrade!

Your existing programs will re-compile without almost any alteration
and automatically have access to all of the new features.  Once you
have confirmed this, send your registration to Raymond.  This library
is certainly well worth it.  Please don't neglect the shareware
concept on Door Patch v3.7.
