- The ECFB was a bit different from the RCFB. I suspect that in
- Forth files RCFB has caught up and possibly surpassed the ECFB
- (largely with your help Jerry, thanx!). But in general "stuff"
- and in PCBoard-related features, e.g., DOORs, graphic menus,
- etc., we never went as far in the direction of "full-service" BBS
- as ECFB did. I never wanted to spend the time setting all that
- stuff up!
-
- Lately we have added two new emphases to the RCFB.
-
- 1) We have a directory of MS-Windows files. The
- selection criterion is, "Does it interest SYSOP"
- :-)
-
- 2) We have a Smalltalk directory and are
- considering a
- Smalltalk conference.

- Incidentally, Ray may have started the xCFB net but it was Jerry
- who taught me, Don, Jack and others how to set up and use the
- software!
