│ Foreword │

ATTENTION: a part of distribution set goes packed with ARJ compres-
sion program. This program is not included into the set, because I hope that
you already have it.
This manual contains information about the files included in BBSLIST
program, used for work with BBS file-lists, searching through them, and ge-
neretion of file request using Fidonet technology.
To be useful for file requests, program should be used together with mailing
programs conforming to Fidonet technology and working in ArcMail style (T-Mail,
FroonDoor) or Binkley style (Bink/+,Xenia).
This manual shows:
* basic ways of using the program.
* how to use the program together with different mailing programs.
* how to start using the program.
* how to tune program initialization file (BBSLIST.INI).
* where to find the latest version of the program.
* how to reach the author if you want to contact him.

└─────────────────┘
* BBSLIST-BETA - word 'BETA' doesn't mean that this program is probationary or
trial! It shows that this is the second release of the program.
* Please, if you encounter a bug, inform me about it and describe the situ-
ation when it appeared if possible.
* If you encouter a filelist, not recognised by the program, please send it
to me, so the next versions of the program will be able to handle it.
* ATTENTION: if the procedure of calling external programs doesn't work, I
advise to use verion working in protected mode (BBSLISTP). But do not de-
dele BBSLIST.EXE, because it contains texts for the HELP system.
* I you consider the program useful, you can make a $15 (USA) donation to
the authors' fund, sending it to authors' account:

FreeShareWare

The difference of FreeShareWare version from the Registered one is that
it says that the program is Unregistered when loading, some menu items do not
function (marked gray) and protected-mode version (BBSLISTP) does not run.
If the program is registered, it shows the name and registration number
of the program's legal owner.
To get registration number you need to fill licence agreement and send
it to one of the following addresses:
2:5020/540.0@Fidonet
111:222/2.9@Test_net
add to the list of gegistered users in register.usr!
* ATTENTION: this free/share/ware rule is valid only in the xUSSR territory,
shareware principal works for all other countries, and regist-
ration sum is $40 US!
