Interesting discussion about door programming!
FWIW - I am putting together a series of interviews with BBS door game authors.
The first is being conducted with Amit Patel, the creator of SRE. Of course he
wrote SRE in Turbo Pascal.
Anyone know how to get in touch with the authors of the game "Assassin"? Kevin
MacFarland and Wayne Myers... I have tried looking for them and so far have come up empty, but I wonder if anyone out there has a connection with either of
them.

Seriously? He interviewed BBS software developers. Wayne Bell was there,
Rob Swindell, Ward Christenson, Frank La Rosa, etc.
The BBS doc covered a lot of ground *and* managed to tell a number of stories very well (Compression, etc).
Despite its epic length, it couldn't possibly tell *every* story, or it get into every BBS software or whatever. That wouldn't be entertaining to watch anyway.
But yeah, 200 interviews? Five and a half hours? It wasn't just his
buddies.
(and regarding one minute of footage: most of the interviews have been posted to the Internet Archive, uncut. Anyone can grab 'em)

I wish they would have shown some visuals instead of 5 hours of talking. I mean it was a great documentary and such by Jason but it would have made things a little more interestingly enough.

What is the Internet Archive? You don't mean Youtube,do you?
If the raw footage is on the internet archives, make your own! That would be interesting project if the licensing allowed it.
