Macintosh BBS setups running FirstClass BBS and “BBS IN A BOX” will find setup very easy.
Simply mount the CD-ROM with the external volume command in the FirstClass installer. Mounting the CD will give your BBS's users access to all of the files on the disk. Or you can just mount a few of the folders but be sure you include the Files folder if you do not want to mount the entire disk. We have removed the system software from this folder in order to allow sysops the ability to mount the CD-ROM file section without having an Apple License Agreement. Those that wish to mount the Apple Software can find it in the Goodies folder. First Class version 2.0 supports reading the BBS in a BOX file descriptions.
If you do not currently own FirstClass you can purchase it from:
SoftArc Inc.
805 Middlefield Road #102
Scarborough, Ontario
Canada, M1V2T9

If you have additional features you would like to see added to “BBS in a BOX”, please feel free to write or call us. We are interested in making the world of public domain and shareware easily understandable to the Macintosh public.
AMUG spends thousands of hours creating the BBS interface on this CD-ROM. Any charge for this CD-ROM is solely to support the creation of the BBS interface. No fee is charged to download any of the shareware and public domain files provided on this CD-ROM.
Only by supporting the shareware authors and sending in the requested shareware fees, will this type of software distribution continue. If you decompress a file and find it useful, please pay the shareware fee if you continue to use the program. When users are dishonest with the authors, they become soured on the shareware market and may stop updating their programs, publishing new programs, or they sell their products commercially. Thanks again for supporting Shareware and Public Domain authors!
