NUMBER:         1
NAME:           SNIPPETS
DESCRIPTION:    BASIC Snippets Conference
  This area is for the discussion of good BASIC programming along with the
  how to accomplish your programming goals.  You can contribute to this
  area--regardless of your skill.  It may be asking a question that's
  stumping other users, too.  Or it may be helping me to get rid of an
  old programming prejudice/flaw.  Or...

  We hope for a spirited, argumentative conference; though deplore personal
  attacks and will vehemently react to such discourtesy.  However, attacks
  on ones code is fair game and highly encouraged.  If you can't live with
  that, don't contribute a new snippet.

NAME:           CHITCHAT
DESCRIPTION:    QB Chat
  This area is for casual discussion about programming using BASIC.  It
  is a conference with a topic that should be fairly closely followed.
  However, it is a much more relaxed area than the Snippets area where
  actual code and coding practices are the _only_ topic allowed.

Vendors are also welcome to discuss there wares--within reason.

NUMBER:         3
NAME:           Novice
DESCRIPTION:    Novice Programmers Conference
  We all need someplace to start; ask that dumb question that everybody
  says really isn't; and, commiserate.  This spots it, folk...

  Be sure to take a look at the bulletins they have answers for all those
  FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) I could think of.  I'm sure it will
  be expanded often.

NUMBER:         8
NAME:           Utilities
DESCRIPTION:    System programming and utilities have been considered
                the bailiwick of Assembly language or "C" programmers.
                But, recent changes and alternate libraries have made
                BASIC programmers a competitive force.  We all need
                to write the occasional utility.  Chat here about it
                becoming a world class tool.

                Participants will find information about programming
                at the system level.  Others are sure to accrue benefits
                from such knowledge in their applications.

NUMBER:         9
NAME:           Hardware
DESCRIPTION:    Hardware as it relates to software.
                Why a hardware conference on a programmer's echo?
                Hardware is the "necessary evil" and the more we know
                about it the better the software.

NAME            Off-Topic
DESCRIPTION:    Sometimes we want to chat about a topic that's not
                allowed in the conferences we participate in.  Well,
                here's where to come to discuss it.

                One can also try to peddle that clunker software,
                hardware, whatever, and/or insert an advert for your bbs.
                (ANSI adverts are not allowed!)

NAME:           HUB
DESCRIPTION:    This is a conference that will be used to iron out the
                details associated with this network.  Each hub will
                echo this conference as their "local" conference for
                their hub family to work out network problems.
                During startup, this conference will originate and pass
                through the NETHub.
