- PAMS BASIC INFORMATION
- ======================
-
- Are you sick of rumaging around in a pile of old magazines trying to
- find the latest PAMS listings ? Maybe you're tired of having to load an
- editor or word processor to search through the list you have on disk for
- that elusive number ? Do people abuse you when you call them at 1am expecting
- to log on to a BBS ?
-
-
- If you have answered YES to any of there questions , READ ON.......
-
-
- WHAT does PAMS do ?
-
- Basically PAMS is a self contained data base of all the current
- Australian BBS's,RCP/M's etc.After extracting PAMS to a suitable disk (I keep
- mine on my A drive as it only occupies 16k and is always there), type <PAMS>
- and you will be presented with a simple prompt. For starters type in the name
- of your favourite BBS (or just a couple of letters will do). The screen will
- now display (after typing return) ALL currently listed BBS's with that name
- or combination of letters.
- You may also type in STD area codes,parts of phone numbers or even modem
- speeds,such is the versitility of PAMS.Obviously the more information you
- provide the more selective will be the search. Typing just <0> for example
- will display EVERY listed for the WHOLE of Australia !!!!
- Whilst typing <EXCALIBUR> willlist only one.
-
-
-
- CREDIT WHERE CREDIT IS DUE.
- ===========================
-
- At this point I must give credit to Joe Wright who wrote the original
- code (called AREA10) that this current program was adapted from.And also
- his willingness for this to be re-distributed in this form.
- If you change any of the main body of code (.ASM supplied) please
- resubmit to him.You may do this, if you like,via ME by any of the
- following ways:
-
-
-
- 1: Leave the new file and a message on EXCALIBUR BBS
- (I WILL see it)
-
- 2: Leave a message in the CP/M ECHO area on FIDO
- (I will see it DOZENS of times)
-
- 3: Leave a message in the PROGRAMMERS conference on FIDO
- (I may NEVER see it)
-
- 4: Call me at home (Good Luck).Find my number by typing
- Mike at the PAMS prompt.
-
-
- WHAT ABOUT THE FUTURE
- =====================
-
-
- Given some encouragement (and not too many complaints) I will continue
- to update PAMS at monthly intervals or whenever "THE PROPHET SPEAKS".
-
- Planned improvements include : Addition of "ACCESS" status
- Addition of "NETWORK" numbers
- Maybe even some code changes to
- make the searches more selective
- and a general clean up.
-
-
-
- SO if you wish to have PAMS on a regular basis let's have some
-
-
- FEEDBACK !!!
