APPENDIX B -- RBBS-PC Software Registration B-1
APPENDIX B -- RBBS-PC Software Registration
-------------------------------------------
Frequent inquires are made asking how many RBBS-PC systems are in
operation, or about a "master" list of RBBS-PC's. Since RBBS-PC is freely
distributed, attempts to get SysOps to register the product have been in
vain. However, in an attempt to help SysOps (and potential SysOps)
everywhere find configurations that most closely match their own, and to
help users find more RBBS-PC systems, we ask that you register your copy of
RBBS-PC. The information you supply will be used to maintain an "ACCURATE"
listing of all publicly available RBBS-PC systems. The success of this
endeavor depends on you. Please complete the BBS info file LG-9999.DEF
supplied with this release of RBBS-PC and send it to:
RBBS-PC SOFTWARE REGISTRATION
P.O. Box 31024
Palm Beach Gardens, FL 33420-1024 U.S.A.
To make sure your registration is current, please remember to send a copy
of your registration form at least once each year. You can also call The
RBBS-PC technical support BBS and upload a copy of the form. An online
database of all respondents will be available on the technical support BBS:
(407) 627-6969 or 627-6862.
If you need a good reason to complete and return the information, read on!
As RBBS-PC continues to evolve, we must make decisions that will affect
you. If we know who you are, and what your environment is like, we are
less likely to introduce a new version of RBBS-PC that will not run in your
environment!
THE BBS IDENTIFICATION STANDARD
-------------------------------
To help BBS list editors, and other users searching for your BBS, we have
started what we hope will be an industry standard. Please implement it on
your BBS. Here's how:
1) Complete the LG-9999.DEF file and place it with your other LGn.DEF
files.
2) Create a user with first name "BBS", Last name "VERIFY", password
"CALL".
3) Set this user's SECURITY to -9999.
Now, any time a BBS list editor calls for a quick check, he'll use the name
BBS VERIFY and a password of CALL. Your BBS will quickly display the
information he needs, and then hang up. Any user who is curious about your
BBS can do the same. If ALL BBS systems implement this, keeping track of
the fast moving BBS community will be much easier. Please, do what you can
to convince other SysOps to implement this simple procedure.
