[Coco] RiBBS

[John Donaldson]

 Yep KRIBBS was shareware. I gave out copies at the COCOFest in 
Chaicago. I also wrote KTerm for David Graham. It was also based on 
KWindows. He sold a bunch of copies of it. KTerm had sound effects for 
things like "You Got Mail" and etc. In fact I used KTerm to test out KRIBBS.
