Obviusly I neglected to realize that some sites will expire my last [recent] article. I case you need to know, SBBS is a new sbbs system that is writen is shell scripts but is VERY powerful. (No cut corners) It is ful featured also. It [should] be very portable because it uses standard unix commands instead of system-dependant calls. Hope thats satisfactory. Just hope people still have my agreement! :-) [> Rd -- North Coast Computer Resources(ncoast) - 216-781-6201 (or 781-6202) UUCP:decvax!mandrill!ncoast!robertd
