It is, I believe, the only BBS package for the Arc... By Hugo Fiennes... Very
good it is too. It does have some limitations; it is difficult or impossible
to write doors for it, and difficult also to do some other things. It has a
fairly powerful scripting language tho'. It is used by for example, Hugo's
own board, Cryton in England, and ICON in Ireland, among others... There may
be 20 boards using it, I could be wrong. Hugo would be the best to ask about
it.

Sometime soon tho', there's going to be a new release, with a lot more
possibilites. I can't wait till it does come out, because I will be able to
write some doors for BBSs. There's also some talk of a WIMP front end
possibility for Arcs. We'll have to see tho'.
