A note to F83 users from John Peters 119MAY85JAPDear F83 BBS interested person, May 15, 1985 I have gone thru the various disks and versions I have in thelibrary. The files on this disk are the best of all. The BBS was originally obtained by me from Jeff Wilson in the form of a MVP Forth disk. I sent a copy of version 0.0 to Tom Belpasso who modified it for F83 and added Virtual I/O so that the data can be in a separate file. There is a working version on the disk called FBBS1.COM. It works fine with FBBS2.DAT. However later Jeff sent me version 2.0 of FBBS. The COM file I have for that version? gives me a "bad load". That is why I have included a copy of FBBS1.COM as it is the only working version Ihave. This is on top of the old F83 1.0.0, doen not contain anyof my developement tools and requires you to reset VBLK to zero as it was originally set to 40. JP A HAND WRITTEN NOTE ENCLOSED WITH THE DISK from Tom. 15MAY85JAPHi John, Jan 12, 1985 Here is the FBBS stuff. Pack dosen't work. There is a file that contains the old FBBS.BBS messages only. To access that file. OPEN FBBS.BBS 0 IS VBLK ( Set virtual block ) START ( Reads the setup data ) NOTE: You have to be in the FBBS vocabulary to exicute the above. Good luck with it. Please send me SCRPRINT.COM, NDIR.BLK and SDIR.BLK when you get a chance. Tom Belpasso LETTER TO TOM BELPASSO 15MAY85JAPDear Tom, May 15, 1985 I am uploading what I have in the library to CL BBS as a Library so it is not dependant on you to fix what ails it. I do want you to have the latest information on it. When I compile the file FBBS2.BLK on to F83 2.1.2 it has problems. I think it might be in the area of Virtual file I/O. Currently I have tried both the VIO in the file FBBS2.BLK and the V-I/0 from EZDIR.BLK which I have in a seprate file.^
