Osiris XLT v1.00
Supports upto 255 Lines
(Available After July 1st)
_____________________________________________________________
Osiris XLT is a fast, responsive, flexible system
which allows the owner to design much of his own CBIS
without having to write any program code.
Osiris is NOT just a BBS program, it is an INTEGRATED BBS
operating SYSTEM. Unlike many other BBS programs, we did not
just STOP with the BBS itself. We have attempted to provide
you with everything you could possible need to run a BBS.
Osiris cost less than any other BBS on the market. There are
couple of BBS' that have a base price less than Osiris but with
those BBS', the base price only covers the BBS program
itself. Many companys charge extra for add-on programs that
we provide, AT NOT ADDITIONAL CHARGE, with the package.
A lot BBS' do not even provide the add-on programs. You have
to call all over the country looking for 3rd party add-on
programs and in the process, run up a huge phone bill and you
still have to pay for the programs when you do find them.
The cost of the Osiris package is less than $6.00 a program,
based on a single line system. You can't find, download, and
register a shareware program for that.
_____________________________________________________________
You can modify the system to suit their personal tastes so
quickly you can not believe it until you try it.
Osiris has power, speed, responsiveness, and flexibility
which have never before been seen in the micro-computer
world.
_____________________________________________________________
As amazing as Osiris is to operate when you call in, the
SYSOP side has to be seen to be believed.
Osiris is configured and maintained using a series of GUI
type program (requires a mouse) and a text editor or ANSI
draw program.
Using OSM, you can define from 1 to 32000 Conference
message boards and from 1 to 32000 file areas.
You can choose the TYPE of command (feature such as read
mail, DOOR, etc.) the command keys, access levels for the
commands and HOW the access levels will be compared to the
callers access level, flags for the commands, and WHERE
those commands will appear.
_____________________________________________________________
File Queued Downloading allows up to 4096 files to be
downloaded during a SINGLE session. And the files can be
split between any number of file areas.
Advanced external protocol support allows an unlimited number
of protocols to be added, without having to resort to
batch files!
Why settle for outdated and slow protocols like Xmodem,
Ymodem, Kermit, and SEAlink when you can use faster and more
popular protocols like Tmodem, Zmodem, Jmodem, and Bimodem.
You have a proprietary protocol you want to use, just add it
in.
Full CD-ROM and WORM drive support.
Full archive support for Zip, Zoo, SQZ, Lharc, Arc, Pak, and
ARJ (View and extract with re-archive)
Archive integrity check on new uploads with
automatic virus scanning!
New files search and a FIND using a KEY word/phrase.
Each individual file listing contains information about WHO
uploaded the file, when it was uploaded, when it was last
downloaded, how many times it has been downloaded, access
level required for the individual file (to see it and
download it), and what CATEGORY the file belongs to.
Need tight control over who downloads a specific file? Osiris
allows you to PASSWORD protect individual files in PUBLIC
download areas.
Not only can you PASSWORD protect an individual file, you can
also instruct Osiris to delete the file once it has been
downloaded.
_____________________________________________________________
Creating menus is a breeze. Use any text editor and just draw
it!
Better yet, use a program like THEDRAW.
Thedraw is an ANSI "what you see is what you get" drawing
program. Select the layout, colors, and even the command line
prompt.
When your finished, compile the ANSI drawing and you have a
colorful menu ready to be used by those that support ANSI and
those that do not.
_____________________________________________________________
Osiris has a bi-polar message system with up to 32,000!
public message areas offering a WIDE range of configuration
options.
Public Message Areas (Echo or Local) have a DELAYED
POSTING option. You can assign area moderators to review
messages posted in these area and only after the moderator
has OK'ed the message will it be available for public view or
Echomail Export programs. If a moderator REJECTS a message,
the message is sent back to the person that posted it, in the
body of a REJECTION NOTICE (Moderators may work remotely).
TRUE ALIAS(tm) Support. Each caller record has a field that
allows callers to select an ALIAS name to use on the system,
in areas that allow it. New Conference mail checks as well as
Private Message Center New Mail check can find waiting mail
under the callers REAL name OR the ALIAS.
A separately maintained Message Center for Private
Messages between individuals on the system with CARBON
COPIES, Automatic Notification when the message has been
received, high speed auto-mail checking, attach Files to
Messages, and full ALIAS support.
Your callers have the option of using a line editor with
quoting capabilities or the advanced Full Screen
(Wordstar COMMAND compatible) ANSI editor with quoting
capabilities.
Two highspeed new MAIL checkers, one for PRIVATE messages
(Not optional) and one for conference messages (Echomail)
which IS optional. Can scan at 15000+ messages per second.
Message system has advanced FILTERING/SEARCH capabilities,
full message threading.
Advanced message PACKING, in ASCII format, for reading
OFF-LINE.
Not ONE but TWO built in OFFLINE readers.
TNT, a custom off-line reader, powerful, with remote
capabilities; you don't have to log-on to the BBS to read
messages, enter messages, download files, or upload files.
QWK, the STANDARD offline reader format is also FULLY
supported (internally).
Built in CALL BACK VERIFICATION system.
Built in ONLINE store for ONLINE SHOPPING.
Built in integrated TIME/Kilobyte BANKING System
HYPERscan for NEW uploads. Can scan at the rate of 50000
files per second (incuding those on CD-ROM drives).
_____________________________________________________________
For those who want more flexibility in system design and
do not mind a little simple programming, Osiris provides
SPL/I, Structured Programming Language Version I.
SPL/I is a cross between C, Pascal, Cobal, and PL/I.
SPL/I has:
127 built in functions including do while, for/next, if, if
else, switch, procedures, string management, complex math
formulas, variable type CASTING, printf (with full FORMAT
support), sprintf (with full FORMAT support), file handling ,
and MUCH more. Several SPL/I functions are devoted to
creating and managing WINDOWS. Yes, Windows on a BBS (caller
must support ANSI) and no, they are not a bit slow.
69 predefined variables and constants
Upto 100 "ACTIVE" user defined variables
8 variable classes: integer, string, character, long,
unsigned long, unsigned integer, real, and file.
2 variable types: global and local.
10 math operators: +, -, /, *, >>, <<, XOR, OR, AND, Modules.
User definable highspeed Btree databases
User definable indexed Memo Databases for mass text storage
and fast retreivel.
Multiple stage compiler
Multiple stage linker with the ability to combine object
modules.
While you do not have to use it to get much of the power of
Osiris, it allows you to go much further in system design
than was previously possible!
If that was not enough, Osiris provides an almost unlimited
number of HOOKS for attaching external programs. If you can
write it, you can add it. Complete file structures
distributed with the program.
Got a Q&A type of file you need to add, no sweat!
Create dozens of DIFFERENT systems and let the each caller
pickup which one he or she likes the best.
_____________________________________________________________
Need multiple language support? You don't live in the United
States, no problem. Osiris has full unlimited mulitple
language support.
Want to alter the text or colors used by internal Osiris
prompts? Just edit the language database and recompile it.
_____________________________________________________________
Osiris has an advanced virtual memory manager, VMS, that
gives your system as much memory as it needs for running
external programs such as archivers, protocol drivers, games,
add-on dbase systems, or anything else you care to call.
You can call external program that require in excess of 512K
of memory to function, including batch file. You can also
pass information to the external programs using command line
arguments and/or a special exit control file. You may also
test return codes and process accord to the return code
following any SPLI/I _EXECUTE.
If you have EMS memory, VMS will shift Osiris up into high
memory before the call and shift it back down afterwards. If
you don't have EMS memory available, we'll use your hard
disk.
-------------------------------------------------------------
While Osiris has its own built-in highspeed serial driver, it
also supports the FOSSIL and most of the popluar intelligent
and non-intelligent multiport Serial cards.
Intelligent Serial Cards: Star Gate, Digiboard (2, 4, 8, and
16 port cards), and Arnet.
Non-Intelligent Serial Cards: Star Gate, Digiboard (4 and 8
port cards), AST, and Boca.
Osiris defaults to the internal high speed driver, but you
can change the driver type by using the use the environment
variable COMDRV.
COMDRV=FOSSIL
COMDRV=STARGATE
COMDRV=DIGI
COMDRV=ARNET
COMDRV=NDIGI
COMDRV=NSTARGATE
COMDRV=AST
COMDRV=BOCA
-------------------------------------------------------------
The computers operating system has interrupt manager
automatically assigns priority to each of the systems
interrupts. The timer counter, keyboard, and cascaded
interrupt all have higher priority than the UART.
To gain the MAXIMUM throughput (especially when multi-
tasking), Osiris can alter the IRQ manager so the UART has
the highest priority.
You can do this using the environment variable 8259=IRQ{1-7}
------------------------------------------------------------
Osiris is also WINDOWS, OS-2, and DESQVIEW aware and
supports full time slicing for all three operating sytems.
Osiris is currently, SE version, being run under ALL three
operating systems (reliably).
_____________________________________________________________
Automatic Expanded and Extended Memory cache. If you have
either, Osiris will automatically create an overlay caching
system and load the overlays into the cache. Its almost like
the entire program is loaded into memory.
_____________________________________________________________
Osiris has a special built in ON-LINE product databases for
integrated On-Line Shopping. You customers can shop from the
comfort of their homes or businesses 24 hours a day with less
COST overhead than conventional VOICE order lines and without
the hassles of TIME ZONES.
Osiris uses compressed databases to hold product information
with highspeed indexing, multiple find features, ability to
tag items for reviewing, forward/reverse movement, listing
functions, multiple departments, customized order forms, help
screens, variable length description fields up to 1,000,000
bytes per record, and much more.
_____________________________________________________________
Osiris has one of the best user interfaces in the industry.
You'll find your callers whizzing around the system at break
neck speed completing tasks in a fraction of the time
required under other programs. In some cases, Osiris can
reduce your in-use time per line by as much as 50 percent
over traditional BBS programs. In a twenty four hour time
period, a four line Osiris system can generally handle as
many callers as an eight ( ten if those lines are 9600 bps)
line TBBS system. This can save you over 1600.00 dollars a
year in commercial phone line rental fees, enough to PAY for
your entire setup within two years (depending on the brand of
computer your using).
Osiris was selected as the CBIS system they most like to call
in a poll of over 1000 BBS users.
_____________________________________________________________
Need statistical information? Osiris keeps complete
statistical information at your finger tips, using colorful
bar charts in most cases, concerning in-use time per line,
average in-use time per line, top ten files downloaded on the
system, top ten uploaders to the system, connect baud rates,
message area information, file area information, who
called today, who called yesterday, who called the last 14
days, six best times to call, six worse times to call and
protocols being used.
_____________________________________________________________
Your directory littered with dozens of exe programs and
control files? Do you need a database just to keep track of
what does what and which control file it uses? Delete them
because almost anything you can think of as an add on is
already built into the program!
Your wife complaining that she no longer has a husband? Your
employee(s) having to spend most of the work day maintaining
the company BBS?
Give yourself and your wife or employees a rest. Once
installed, Osiris is almost 100 percent automated. Check it
once a week or so and let CAT do the rest.
CAT's the Osiris Robot Maintenance system that does
everything from adjusting messages area sizes, renumbering,
getting rid of old messages or deleted message, converting
archives to another format, adjusting file listings so they
LOOK uniformed, maintaining history logs, scanning the
harddrive for virus infections, monitoring individual
files on the drive for chances, and MUCH MORE. You can even
have it automatically backup the system to your TAPE drive or
optimize your hard disk on specific days!
_____________________________________________________________
Osiris is much more than a mere Bulletin Board System. It is
a Computer Based Information System, a personal
communications tool with incredible power. Its uses are
limited only by your imagination!
If you would like to give Osiris a try to see if it fits your
needs BEFORE you buy, the complete program can be downloaded
at 1-314-686-0120
It is full functional with only a restriction placed on the
number of users.
