- For now, I'm using DOS 5.0, but thinking of OS/2....and that's my 1st
- priority: I want to be able to run my BBS under OS/2, so I can use my
- PC for other stuff! Also 1-line support for now, multiple file and message
- areas, sysop-cusomizable menus and hotkeys, sysop-changable colors.
- I saw some products on Simtel mirrors (like Ezycom, Osiris, Quick-BBS)
- what do you think of those?
