Subj: REPLY TO MSG #6647 (BBS SOFTWARE)
Hello again, Walt. Looks like you and I "live" online these days. FYI: I'm still going over your top 50 list. Funny stuff! To your question about what I'm using for the Club 100 BBS: The answer is TBBS. And, if you'd like some interesting reading, I recently explored the history of the Club 100 BBS as a response to Craig Hallman, here online ... of course, he hasn't been back to pick up his reply but that's the way it goes, sometimes. Thanks to your request, I went back, found my message to Craig and copied it to the (T)op menu (H)elpfiles, file #17 ... where it will stay for evermore! Setting up a BBS is an adventure... Growing it has its up's and down's... Managing it is a ton of work... but... ...keeping it going, year after year, after year, after year takes complete stupidity without any regards to life as we know it. I recently made a comment to Mike Nugent (Tri-Mike Network East, AKA "Nuge", once an editor for Portable 100 Magazine, and a good friend). I said something like, "You know, I sometimes fear that I will be editing an e-mail message and die before being able to hit <S>end!" Wherein he replied, "Write a macro that hit's <S>end when your head hits the keyboard." To that I replied, "Ah yes! It's the old 'head hits keyboard, sends message' macro. I know it well!" Ohooo... I'm not feelin..... "S M A C K!" WAITFOR "S M A C K!" TRANSMIT "S"
