■ Future note
I will never have the intention to write something as powerfull as Maximus
or Pcboard or whatever... My only intention is a small host for OS/2 32bit
which does the work! Easy to maintain, easy to install (unzip it and run)
It isn't very customizable, but it has everything a small operator needs and
it looks nice too. I use this for my own board too :)) (What did you thought)
I will keep enhance it in my own capabilities... If I would want to make this
as powerfull as Max/pcb.. I have to do a complete re-write of it. The big-
gest problem is that I am the only one who is working on it, and I can tell
you, creating a bbs is a very time consuming job (it isn't difficult but
it's mental very tough)
■ AcroBat will never support
Fidonet mail support
Internet mail support
■ How to contact me
vanrillaer@tornado.be (internet)
No fido support anymore (use the internet gateway of fidonet)
■ What you the user of this thing can do for me
Just write me a message to keep me mental strong/to support me. If you
go on a holiday write me a postcard :))) The address is:
Bart Van Rillaer (Bono)
Bekaflaan 41 3200 Aarschot
Belgium
■ OS/2 is the best OS ever in my opinion!
■ Guyz I want to thank for sending me a message via internet.
Someone from Russia (don't know his internet/fido address anymore) (thx for
the asm/c sources)
Someone from the US (you don't have to register you know :) If I ask money
for this (which is possible for the time programming) , I am responsible to
enhance it/bugfix it/create new versions etc... And I don't want to take
such a big responsability :))) This is freeware :=-) You have to take it
like it is... And hope new versions will be released.
Someone asked me to create a seperate program with the multichat only. :)
Sorry, don't have much time for it :-(((
Thanks to someone from Greece who inspired me to keep on enhancing it
■ Thanks to my mum, my dog Charlotte, The BountyHunter (for beta-testing),
the programmer's from I.B.M., Borland, .... Everyone out in the world!
Thanks to the writer of CEXYZ! Keep up the good work! Also greetz to the
author of Maxfile/PM for writing such a excellent program (there are some
bug fixes in it that should get fixed)
■ Thanks to a dude from Greece who's on a holiday on Italy right now. He
created the icons, and gave me some ideas...
