[][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][] [] O M N I B U L L E T I N B O A R D S E R V I C E [] [] System News as of July 7th, 1991 [] [][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][] Welcome to Omni BBS. I am glad you made this software your choice in telecommunication handling. This is a public domain version of a much bigger and better multi-line telecommunication package that I will be releasing in 1992. I am releasing this version right now, so I can gather some funding for hardware research, and also to get suggestions from other system operators on what they would like in a affordable multi- line communication system. Please keep this in mind as you use this soft- ware.

Ver 1.00 DataBase Section In this file, you layout this screen on how you want your database to look. This file is displayed to the user, then prompts them for a response. The response can be from 1 to 3 Characters. The file that is should be located in the DATABASE directory, and the name should be DATABASE.??? Ya, you got it. The 3 character response is the ???. This is sorta an open way to leave a database. You can do multi scans on one topic. Ex. ( A ) - Information on drugs A00 - A99 ( B ) - Information on cars B00 - B99 or you could do it with just a simple list of all the topic names. ** NOTE ** This file, DATABASE.TXT, can not be over 24 lines in length. nor can any other file with the ext. of TXT. -------------------- | OPTION A | -------------------- A - Add to BBS Phone Directory -------------------------- This option allows you the freedom of placing information about a bulletin board service that you like and would like to let people know about it.

If the pager is OFF, then you can't page the sysop. If pager is on, you can page him. You will hear a series of BEEPS as it is attempting a page.
