It says running on Wildcat! twice on the login screen, so I think
you're correct on that one :)

And yes, I'm using DDMsgReader. It's already available in /sbbs/xtrn so
you just need to follow the instructions to configure it to run and
tailor the theme to your liking.

You should also use DDAreaChooser too so that everything looks seamless
for your users. and ddlistlister I guess.

I've helped iron out a few bugs recently and it's really nice on my
board now.
