I had a couple of users who used to play Meldon and I wanted to register it. When Al from Sunrise had one of his registration specials, I registered all of the DOS games he had. Al took over the Lounge doors when Jim stopped developing them, but apparently Al retired the DOS version of Meldon so I didn't get a key for that one.

money talks.
Al responded to my email and stated he did not offer key files for
Meldom in DOS. He also was advised not to allow someone to develop a
new key file generator. So if one is now made I can't use or post it.
I did ask if he'd be willing to sell the rights to the DOS version but I've not gotten a reply on that yet. We shall see.

probably simply can't because the source code was lost
okay that's strange or you worded it kinda funny.

It makes sense if the person who advised him not to was the original developer.

i'm trying to make out what he was saying.
why would the original developer give one shit?
We have seen other developers who abandon stuff turn around and not want it to be public, even though they don't want to develop it. With this one, I am wondering if Al had permission to developer a Winserver version but
maybe didn't have any understanding with the original developer re: continuing the DOS version.
I appreciate everything that Al has done for the BBS community. I will follow his wishes. His exact message to me was:
I am advised to refuse permission.

maybe he should be advised that a "coffee donation" of $20 in exchange for BBS door keys is actually a payment for a product that is taxable.
