[ I'm following up to this on the net because I've recently got a lot of
requests for info about upgrades. I'll be brief. ]

Beckemeyer Development Tools runs a 24hr. BBS where we post upgrade
information.

The BBS has general interest message bases and files for downloading
(free access to anybody) and it has several private message bases and
file download areas for registered owners of products.

This has become the primary source for upgrade information.   New versions
of BDT software are often posted to the BBS for downloading by registered
users.   The BBS also has many "freebie" utilities and doc files specifically
designed for our products (e.g. MT C-Shell) and many files that are generic.

The BBS also allows users to read comp.sys.atari.st (it's exported to a
BBS message base) and it has a UUCP/Internet E-Mail Gateway.  Since
it's in 415, it's reachable via PC Pursuit.  You don't have to be a
BDT product owner to use our BBS - it's free to anybody.

The BBS number is (415) 452-4792, 1200 or 2400 baud, 24hrs.  After you
connect, press a RETURN until you get a "login:" prompt, then type 'bbs'
(all lower case), press RETURN and follow the BBS prompts.
