Hi, I don't normally read this newsgroup, so I don't know whether this BBS
software package has been discussed, but SuperBBS is a package that is used
world-wide and is very user friendly
As part of FidoNet the author can be directly addressed for help, or one of the
many support sites.
It requires a small registration fee, once you decide to use the software, but
the version downloadable from BBS's is complete. The software is very user
friendly when designing your menus and file/message areas. Multi-node setups
possible. 

cya, Ewan Humphrey.

WWIV menus can be replaced easily.  Telegard is a worthless hack, a stolen

The appendix is not complete discription by a long shot.  You need
at lot more information than provided there to write your own QWK
reader.  You'll need even more info to create your own QWK packer.
Finally the information needed to create a network packet that Qnet
will import is a secret, and Mark Herring isn't telling anyone.

Why make things hard on yourself?  Each menu has a number assigned to it...
Main Menu is 0, File Menu is 3, etc.  Simply create appropriate files MENU0.ANS
MENU3.ANS etc...then you don't have to fight combining them into one file.

MENUSANS.MSG is really meant for ANSI screens designed with the Ctrl-C (heart)
WWIV color code scheme.

Read the manual yourself, bud.

Then Mark Herring can put that QNet in his *ss. Don't let some 'smart' assholes
lock you to their proprietary software! Boycot software that is not open.

Sorry if that sounds pathetic, but I've had too many bad experiences with
proprietary programs and file formats.

If I were under-aged and I wanted access to stuff like that, what would it
take to borrow your older insert-your-favorite-word id's (brother, friend,
etc) and send that in as "proof". 

No, the only true way to verify the age is for you to see the person face
to face and see a photo id at the same time. How many users are willing to
do that on a bbs?

I would like to announce one of my pet peaves and suggest a better approach.
Simply add the area code of new BBS's in the subject line.  It will save
many people lots of time and for those who read mail long distance, it will
save money.

list as often as you wish, and our low rate ($10 - $15 per month) and none
restrictive license terms make us real viable alternative to Uunet and

     The Flight Deck II has been restored to operational status
for the enjoyment of everyone.  After a hard-disk crash and a few
other problems, things are finally on the roll.  TFD2 offers
something for everyone.  We support the Amiga community with a
vast software collection in over twenty-five catagories, along with
adult and standard graphics databases for everyone.

     The messaging system of the DIALOG software is second to
none, with a most impressive message-threading system.  UUCP
InterNET email is active, and UseNET news feeds are scheduled to
begin within a couple weeks.  Your InterNET email can be sent to
almost anywhere in the world.  The information of the UseNET,
often exceeding ten megabytes a day, provides information on
almost any subject you wish: Computers, Hobbies, Politics,
Religion, and much more.  The message area can be configured for
any areas that you would like, and in any order you desire.

     Do you just need to relax for a bit?  The try your hand at a
game called Wanderer.  You need to collect the prizes without
dying by an arrow, boulder, or landmine.  It is very similar to a
older game entitled "BoulderDash".  Perhaps you would like a
mind-boggling challenge...  The complete set of Infocomm classics
is available at a keypress.  From the Ballyhoo and the
Hitchhiker's Guide to the famed Zork-trilogy is but moments away,
and may be saved in progress to your own account directory.

    You can reach The Flight Deck II by calling day or night!

The Backdoor Personal Bulletin Board System is now online
in Morrisville, NC (in close proximity of Research Triangle
Park, Durham, Raleigh, Cary, and Chapel Hill, NC).

The BBS' emphasis is on files for Amateur Radio and OS/2. I
post a few other files such as games for Windows, etc. if
I think there is interest.  I have internet access so if
there is something available on internet I can get it 
and place it on the board for users also.

The BBS software I use is Simplex for OS/2. It works great.
I run the board in the background and use my machine for
packet radio (TCP/IP), as well as other things while users
are logged in.

[I keep the latest OS/2 fixes and utilities on line]

The Backdoor PBBS - 2400/MNP5 currently, hopefully 14.4K PM14400FXSA within
                    the next month
