    I am about to start a project for creating a GRAPHICS BASED
    BULLETIN BOARD system, including its own terminal language.
    The system would support various screen formats and resolutions,
    colour, mouse & joystick, windows etc. etc. just as if you were
    using your pal's computer's windowing system via a modem. Well,
    actually it's going to be much more, but I'll skip that now...

    Before 'inventing the wheel again', I'd like to make sure this
    has not yet been done. That is, TO GET A LIST OF SIMILAR
    SYSTEMS ALREADY IN EXISTANCE and compare them with what mine
    would be. Also, if you have heard of rumours or plans that I
    should be aware of, please tell me.

    This is adressed to U.S. people in particular, but whoever
    knows about these things, please respond. Also, tell me on
    which machine the systems you know about can be used.

    Also, if you have any IDEAS or WISHES concerning a windows-based
    bulletin board, please let me know. Just telling me you'd really
    like to see such a system around is in itself worth a message...

        Waiting for your replies...
