RBBS-PC version CPC13.1A and forward require the IBM Basic Compiler version
2.01 (4/4/86 patch diskette) or QuickBASIC 1.0.  That patch diskette should
be obtained from Microsoft for 1.0, but at least it works with RBBS-PC
while IBM's 2.00 did not.

All RBBS-PC code before CPC13.1A can be used with any of the compilers.

I have successfully compiled, and run, RBBS-PC with the Microsoft 1.0 and
IBM 2.01 Basic Compilers.

All the latest code for RBBS-PC can be obtained from NICBUL at:
	(608) 273-5037 6pm to 8am M-F CT or all day on weekends.

Good luck, as your odds are better now.
