        This edition has been a long time in coming. With the major
 changes in the status of TriBBS, it has been kinda hard to get some-
 thing going. I had part of the Ezine done when Mark announced he was
 dropping support, so I basically trashed it. Then Gary came in and took
 over, so I decided to wait things out before starting the Ezine all
 over again.

        In this edition, you will find information on the change over
 to Gary, as well as information on where and how to get support. Support
 for TriBBS is now stronger than it has been in over two years. Conferences
 have merged, and the TriBBS FDN is back up and running on the Backbone.

        This edition also includes several articles of interest to the
 sysop who wishes to add Internet Email or Newsgroups to your BBS. There
 is a review on QWKNews (By FreeJack's Software) as well as an article
 that looks at several programs that will add Email and Newsgroups to
 your board.

        New Sysops will find something of Interest in a new series of
 articles for the New Sysop. We will look at what I consider the "Top Ten"
 utilities for the New TriBBS Sysop.

        As a special treat, and as a favor to Gary, I've included in this
 edition some GIF's. These are labeled step1 to step21. This was taken
 directly from Gary's TriBBS Web page and will walk you through setting
 up TriBBS under Windows 95. I was going to include a small viewing
 program, but with so many systems out there, I could not find one small
 enough, that would work on most systems. I'm sure though that all sysops
 will have a viewer they can use.

        And we have the usual collection of Quick Looks and information.

        I hope you enjoy this edition, and as always, if you would like
