Any Host currently named is appointed and will be an interim host until
the conference elects their permanent host(s).
The conferences may change or merge based on traffic.
NUMBER: 1
NAME: SNIPPETS
DESCRIPTION: BASIC Snippets Conference
This area is for the discussion of good BASIC programming along with the
how to accomplish your programming goals. You can contribute to this
area--regardless of your skill. It may be asking a question that's
stumping other users, too. Or it may be helping me to get rid of an
old programming prejudice/flaw. Or...
We hope for a spirited, argumentative conference; though deplore personal
attacks and will vehemently react to such discourtesy. However, attacks
on ones code is fair game and highly encouraged. If you can't live with
that, don't contribute a new snippet.

NUMBER: 2
NAME: CHITCHAT
DESCRIPTION: QB Chat
This area is for casual discussion about programming using BASIC. It
is a conference with a topic that should be fairly closely followed.
However, it is a much more relaxed area than the Snippets area where
actual code and coding practices are the _only_ topic allowed.
Vendors are also welcome to discuss there wares--within reason.

NUMBER: 3
NAME: Novice
DESCRIPTION: Novice Programmers Conference
We all need someplace to start; ask that dumb question that everybody
says really isn't; and, commiserate. This spots it, folk...
Be sure to take a look at the bulletins they have answers for all those
FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) I could think of. I'm sure it will
be expanded often.

ACTIVITY: New 7/92
NUMBER: 4
NAME: VB
DESCRIPTION: Visual BASIC
Discussion concerning programming using Visual BASIC for Windows.
HOSTS:
ACTIVITY: New 7/92
NUMBER: 8
NAME: Utilities
DESCRIPTION: System programming and utilities have been considered
the bailiwick of Assembly language or "C" programmers.
But, recent changes and alternate libraries have made
BASIC programmers a competitive force. We all need
to write the occasional utility. Chat here about it
becoming a world class tool.
Participants will find information about programming
at the system level. Others are sure to accrue benefits
from such knowledge in their applications.
HOSTS:
ACTIVITY: New 7/92
NUMBER: 9
NAME: Hardware
DESCRIPTION: Hardware as it relates to software.
Why a hardware conference on a programmer's echo?
Hardware is the "necessary evil" and the more we know
about it the better the software.

ACTIVITY: New 7/92
NUMBER: 10
NAME: Vendor
DESCRIPTION: General Vendors Conference
A place to meet with and discuss products for QB. If a conference
exist for the product you wish to discuss, please use it instead.

ACTIVITY: New 7/92
NUMBER: 19
NAME Off-Topic
DESCRIPTION: Sometimes we want to chat about a topic that's not
allowed in the conferences we participate in. Well,
here's where to come to discuss it.
One can also try to peddle that clunker software,
hardware, whatever, and/or insert an advert for your bbs.
(ANSI adverts are not allowed!)

ACTIVITY: New 7/92
NUMBER: 20
NAME: HUB
DESCRIPTION: This is a conference that will be used to iron out the
details associated with this network. Each hub will
echo this conference as their "local" conference for
their hub family to work out network problems.
During startup, this conference will originate and pass
through the NETHub.
HOSTS: Your Hub sysop
