8 - WRAPPING UP

We shall wrap up this manual with update policy, contact information, and
special thanks to many of the fabulous people who have made Centipede possible.


8.1 Thanks to Adam! (new contact information)

As we close this manual I want to once again thank Adam Fanello for all his
hard work in developing this software and in the end giving it to the Commodore
Community at large.

This collection of freeware files is maintained by the Last Stand BBS in
Minneapolis Minnesota.  Any questions regarding it should be directed to Mike
Martin (aka Voyager, user #1) at the bbs.  The BBS phone number is 763-533-5267

The freeware version will be maintained at the following website:

www.snowpig.org/centipede
e-mail questions can be sent to centipede@snowpig.org

All known Centipede games/addons will be available at both the website and the
bbs.


8.2 - Getting Help From Other SysOps

Quite often, the best place to get support is from other Centipede SysOps. Most
SysOps are very happy to help out a fellow Centipede BBS owner. You can contact
these other SysOps through e-mail, but the best place to get help is in the
Centipede SysOp message category of ComLink or some other network that hold a
large assembly of Centipede owners.


8.3-  Thanks from Adam Fanello

A project of this size could not have been accomplished by one person alone. We
all owe Centipede's existence to a gaggle of people. I cannot possibly name
everybody who has an effect on Centipede here, but the following people,
presented in semi-random order, have stood out and have earned their thanks
here.

     * Thanks to all the people who purchased my previous BBS program, V128.
       Without the enormous success of V128, I doubt I would have had the
       courage, or prodding, to have created Centipede.

     * Mounds of thanks to the miracle worker, John 'Iceman' Pinson of the
       Inner Circle BBS. Not only was he the first to declare that I wou
       one day be a SysOp, but he has continued to be one of my biggest
       supporters. John's natural skills of generating publicity and
       making connections could very well be how you came to learn about
       Centipede. His ability to destroy what little modesty I had lead me to
       reach out to possibilities I had hardly even imagined.

     * Lots of love to my mother, who not only put up with all my computers and
       dreaming, but supported me every step of the way.

     * Thanks to Roger 'Frog' Hyatt, who was the first brave SysOp to allow me
       to tack a crack at programming on his Color 64 BBS - the forerunner
       of V128 and later, Centipede!

     * Thanks to Richard 'Wanderer' Cunningham (not the TV character) of the
       Desert Oasis BBS for his lasting support, and one really incredible
       code optimization!

     * Thanks to Ken 'Megga Force' Nealey of the Ultimate Force BBS, for making
       sure there was a selection of games already converted to Centipede
       in time for its release.

     * Thanks to Michael 'Byte1' Crisp of Thunder Publishing, for designing the
       Bugsoft and Centipede logos, as well as hosting the Bugsoft web site.

     * Thanks to 'Grampa' Charles Nichols for drawing the Commodore
       text/graphics version of the Bugsoft and Centipede logos.

     * And of course, a big thanks to you, for using Centipede!

One final note:

This manual is a text conversion of the original Word Perfect file written by
Adam.  The converting of the marvelous manual to a generic Commodore text file
has been a big job.  I have made every effort to provide a nicely formated text
file.  The final format editing was done on a C128 using the Digiprom stand
alone text editor.  I am sure there are some errors, but I hope you find this
file to be of some use!
