Short: Powerful conferencebased BBS Software written in assembler.
Uploader: c-lous@freenet.hut.fi
Author: c-lous@freenet.hut.fi
Type: comm/bbs
DayDream BBS is written in 100% assembler and is therefor one of the
fastest BBS programs availiable on Amiga today.
Features
~~~~~~~~
- DayDream BBS looks like AmiExpress, which is a much loved and hated
BBS software. Most of the people who like AmiExpress like it because of
it's simpliness and because it's very fast to use. However, AmiExpress
requires a very fast CPU to operate smoothly and the configurability is
rather poor too. DayDream fixes the major problems found in AmiX.
- 100% assembly code. DayDream is probably the fastest BBS-software
ever.
- Number of conferences is limited to 64. Each conference can have up to
254 messagebases and fileareas. 64*254 = 16256 (or for Pentium users
16255.999999987.)
- Maximum security. Each user can have their own securitysettings, but
defaults are taken by securitylevel. Every command in DayDream can be
toggled on/off.
- Basic utilities and doors are included in distribution archive. For
example: Faker, whof, new, top list -utilities, weektop etc.
- Configuration is done via an ascii file. This enables quick modifica-
tions to the BBS' settings. Asciifile is converted to binaryformat
with utility called DreamConfig. It takes about 1 sec to compile
the datafiles with it.
- If you don't like editing Textfile, there's a MUI based configprogram
included. (Read MUIConfig.DOC!)
- Superb upload handling. Full support for file_id.diz, gets date from
file_id.diz (if wanted), built-in offline checking, adds file_id.diz
to archives if it didn't exist etc.
- Strings and prompts can be re-defined, so you can customize your BBS
any way you like.
- You can have 254 different displaymodes. Each displaymode can have
it's own characterconversiontables (=no more linefeeds), prompts and
strings and textfiles.
- Multinode support. Supports up to 254 nodes in theory. I suppose you
can have at least 5 nodes on regular 030 without too high CPU-Load.
- Door formats supported: DayDream, ARexx, Paragon, stdio. AmiExpress
preudo-rexx "XIM" doors work via external emulation.
- Supports XPR-Protocols, Hydra+SModem (Bidirectional w/ chat).
- Supports FTP-transfers. There's a custom ftpd for DD to have on-the-fly
dupechecking.
- Cheap. DayDream costs only 300SEK or 55USD.
- Everything else except DDHydra and SModem can be made resident!
Requirements
~~~~~~~~~~~~
- KickStart 2.04 (V37) or higher.
- Fifo.library and l:fifo-handler running (for stdio doors etc.)
- Reqtools.library
Support
~~~~~~~
DayDream is currently being developed at full speed and I intend to
continue as long as there is any interest in this program.
If you have any comments, discover some bugs or have any suggestions etc
feel free to send E-Mail to me at: c-lous@freenet.hut.fi.
Also try to catch Origo on IRC, channels #DayDream, #AmiElite or #AmigaScne.
You can get doors etc. via ftp:
