║ INTRODUCTION ║
╚══════════════════════╝
Welcome to VBBS Version 6.11 and thank you for taking time
to read this documentation.
This document is a complement to the VBBS HyperText document-
ation included on the distribution diskette, but is organized
by chapter instead of by topic, and formatted for continuous
printing.
This document, as well as the VBBS HyperText document, covers
both the QB4.5 DOS and the PDS7.1 OS/2 versions of VBBS since
features and setup are virtually identical. Where differences
do exist between versions, these are clearly pointed out.
Again, thank you for trying our software, and we hope that VBBS
exceeds your expectations.
