DZK BBS-List
Purpose 1
DZK BBS-List and the accompanying viewer were
created to fill a void in the BBS community. All
the national BBS lists, even the most popular ones,
lack the amount of information about each board for
a user to make any sort of judgement as to the
quality of that board. DZK BBS-List solves that
problem by removing the standard constraint of 80
characters per BBS by supplying not only the BBS
name, number, and other pertinent information, but
also by providing a list of mail nets the BBS is
in, and an 80 character description of the BBS.
DZK took this idea one step further by putting all
this information into a more compact datafile, and
providing a utility to not only view the list, but
also to print the list to the printer, and a
variety of (.FON) telecommunication programs'
dialing directories.
Features 2
■ An easy to use windowing interface with built in
context sensitive help.
■ Quick search routines to speed your search for a
BBS.
■ The ability to limit which BBSs to list based on
criteria such as baud rate, number of megs,
number of nodes, area code/location, or mail
networks.
■ The ability to have multiple criteria for
listing.
■ The ability to list BBSs to the screen, to a
file, to the printer, or to a telecommunication
terminal dialing directory (.FON file).
■ The ability to flag BBSs while listing them to
screen in order to later output them to a file,
the printer, or a telecommunications terminal
dialing directory (.FON file).
■ Cholesterol free, and low in Sodium and Saturated
fats.
