- Welcome to the Vancouver Turbo BBS! (up since Dec. 14, 1984)
- Sysop is Bob Maxwell...
-
- Bulletins: Last update Feb. 9, 1985.
- To abort any function or menu, use "C" or control-C.
- To pause display, use "S" or control-S: any key restarts.
- The [W]elcome command reprints this file after sign-on.
-
- Feb. 09/85:
- - [I]nstall function improved: also includes [B]ell switch.
- - [R]ead command now supports [A]ll subcommand.
- - New 6809 special interest section added.
- - Accidental aborting of an input prompt should be safe now.
-
- GENERAL INFO:
- Both 300 and 1200 baud are supported.
- System up 24 hours (except when the Sysop needs the computer).
- The system expects 8 bits, no parity: other configurations may
- not [I]nstall properly.
-
- The special interests of this board include:
- - Kaypro and Ohio Scientific computers;
- - C, CompuServe, CP/M, 6502 and Turbo Pascal. (among other things)
- (This BBS is written in Borland's Turbo Pascal for the Kaypro)
-
- The files and message systems contain "sections" which are used to
- group files and messages according to the interest they concern.
- Although the sections reflect some interests of this board, they
- are not exclusive (That's why there's Section 1: General!).
-
- Intent and policy: This board is meant as a forum for people
- interested in hardware and software applications. It is NOT meant for
- the exchange of proprietary software, non-publicized phone numbers,
- personal IDs or passwords. I will take great pleasure in making this
- perfectly clear to transgressors in any way I see fit.
-
- User hints: try the [H]elp file, [S]can the messages from number
- 1, and [R]ead message number 1 for help in using the message
- system. When the system offers a set of options at a prompt (such
- as "Y/N/Quit"), enter only ONE letter as your response: don't
- type QUIT, just type Q. The system buffers input, and will
- attempt to execute the U, I, and T as other commands.
-
- * New users: you must leave your name, address, and phone number
- in a comment using the [G]oodbye command, if you want to be able
- to leave messages or upload files. It would be appreciated if you
- used your real name on this system.
