- Here in Wellington there are bulletin boards running on Unix boxes, PCs,
- Vaxes, Amigas and Archimedes. Searchlight runs 31.5% overall.
-
- I think a sysop's software choice largely depends on what they have used.
- With 31% of the systems running Searchlight here, a sysop is more likely
- to pick that.
-
- Here the more popular packages are:
-
- Wildcat (PC) 3.7% Kiwiboard (PC) 3.7% PC-Board (PC) 3.7%
- ProBoard (PC) 3.7% Spitfire (PC) 5.5% RemoteAcc. (PC) 7.4%
- Waffle (PC/Unix) 11.1% Maximus (PC) 12.9% Searchlight (PC) 31.5%
-
- Nobody runs WWIV (well, not now anyway).
