I don't think there's anything particularly special about it. I got it from the Free Software Foundation's archives, though they don't appear to have any Windows builds earlier than version 21 any more.

DCForum uses square brackets instead of angle brackets to enclose its HTML-ish internal markup, like the italics tags here, for instance, because angle brackets are the traditional "this line is quoted from the previous message" characters in email and Usenet news, from which boards like DCF evolved. You can get displayable square brackets by invoking them specifically with special character codes. "&l;" and "&r;" will display "[" and "]" respectively. If you just type square brackets with stuff in between, DCF will assume that what's in between is bad markup and discard/ignore it.
