Keywords: PD BBS Message-ID: <5579@ozdaltx.UUCP> Date: 17 Jul 89 15:24:50 GMT References: <452@tuura.UUCP> Organization: OZ BBS - Dallas, TX Lines: 15 Actually you already have everything you need to write your own BBS right in the Xenix system. Mine is 85% shell scripts plus a few custom C programs, like chat a simplified mail program and the like. I use the news programs for my message base, but you can do your own too. It's a great way to learn the shell structure and awk. Hint: Take each function, one at a time, get it working before going on to the next.
