PREAMBLE AND CREDITS
────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
BBS Manager started as one of those spare-time projects in
late 1992. After about three months of initial development
I am releasing version 1.0 as of February 22, 1993.
I'd like to thank Brian Hess and Bruce Murphree for their
support and ideas which I have tried to included within this
package.
I'd also like to thank the following for their contributions
(in no particular order whatsoever) - all of them have
played a part in the development of BBS Manager wheather they
knew it or not:
John Nettles, Terry Porter, David Scott, Reinhold Schatz,
Bill Roggy, Maxwell House Coffee, Duke Power for keeping
the lights on at 3:00 in the morning and a slew of others.
I would also like to thank the Southeast Sysops Association
for being there when I needed physical and technical support.

OVERVIEW AND FEATURES
────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
BBS MANAGER is a "fully-blown" information management program
for your BBS System. It offers a way for you to keep track of
day-to-day operations of your BBS system by offering a complete
user database as well as a cost analysis system which will keep
you informed of the money you are spending versus the money you
bring in through advertising or user contributions. BBS MANAGER
does this through dynamically linked information databases which
keep track of most operations on your system.
