	I've never seen ProLine, so I can't comment on it, but I really
think GBBS is a really good BBS system from using it. (And I've read a lot
of the info on it because I was going to write a full-screen editor for one
but unfortunately there are no arrays in the language it uses)

	I've pretty much gotten out of the microcomputer BBSes though, except
for getting new programs..

	UNIX, cshell, the Internet and UseNet just seem to be a new dimension 
in modemming... non-networked (or minimally networked) BBSes just seem 
so "small."

	Yeah, I realize ProLine can get a UseNet feed.

	A pretty neat BBS for MSDOS systems (and it runs under UNIX too) 
is waffle. If anyone's interested in an Apple II version of it, send mail
to root@darkside.com

	I've wanted to port that program for a long time or have them port
it as it's pretty good (they won't let me port it, but maybe sufficient
outside interest will help it happen).
