- NO. Once again, NO. The only limit on message count now is the size of

- Uncle! You're absolutely right. You can not do every single thing with
- TBBS that you might do with your Unix setup. On the other hand, I am
- running a two-line BBS on an 8 MHz AT with 640K of RAM. For what my
- company is using the BBS for, that is more than adequate, and we didn't
- have to spend several hundred/thousand dollars more just so somebody can
- have fun with perl scripts.
