Ultra-Com v1.3

By

?PW?

Introduction:

Ultra-Com is a blatant Take-off of Ivory BBS. Obviously the same code was used as a basis, and most of the changes from there are cosmetic. Unfortunately, the program is also cracked, and the name of the original author (if you can call him that) has been stripped from the code and documentation.
