F)iles: The "F" command takes you to the Files System. Files are
collections of text, programs, graphics, data bases, and other types of
information stored in digital form. The Files System allows you to
upload and download. Uploading is the sending of files from your
computer system to RBBS-PC. Downloading is the transfer of files from
RBBS-PC to your computer's memory, diskette, or printer.
Tips:
1. RBBS-PC is built on the ideal that we will learn and help one
another. You are strongly encouraged to upload files that you believe
will be of value to other users.
2. You should use the L)ist, N)ew, and S)earch commands to look for
files that you would like to download after you enter the Files System.
3. Files can be sent across phone lines at very rapid rates. Three
hundred baud (baud is a measure of transmission speed) modems transmit
approximately 30 characters per second, 1200 baud modems transmit at 120
characters per second, and 2400 baud modems transmit at 240 characters
per second.
