-
- Welcome to VBBS Version 6.12 and thank you for taking time
- to read this documentation.
-
- This document is a complement to the VBBS HyperText document-
- ation included on the distribution diskette, but is organized
- by chapter instead of by topic, and formatted for continuous
- printing.
-
- This document, as well as the VBBS HyperText document, covers
- both the QB4.5 DOS and the PDS7.1 OS/2 versions of VBBS since
- features and setup are virtually identical. Where differences
- do exist between versions, these are clearly pointed out.
- See VBBS - OS/2
- Again, thank you for trying our software, and we hope that VBBS
- exceeds your expectations.
