        You can always get the latest version of XBBS via anonymous UUCP
        from conexch.  Just login as nuucp and request
        /usr/spool/uucppublic/ALLbbs.tar.Z.  There's a Systems entery in
        the .signature at the end of this followup article.

        XBBS was placed into the public domain by Sanford Zelkovitz and
        is distributed in C source code form.  It supports mutiple
        message and file areas, and several file transfer protocols.
        XBBS is completely openended in that you can make any program or
        shell script available to XBBS users.  There is complete user
        access permission control with regard to accessable areas and
        time allotment, as well as all the other features that make for a
        truely useable BBS.
