- - Lemonade Stand IN THE HOOD
- Compete with the little 1-line door-running boards in your area, who
- run very stupid yet very popular door games! This one will one-up
- your competitors running "Lemonade". In this game, 3 factors
- affect how much lemonade you can sell: (1) Temperature (2) chance
- of rain, and (3) Gang activity! Better yet, it has flexible EVENTS
- that can happen. Users (if you wish) can add their own events, such
- as drive-by shootings (causing loss of lemonade and glasses as well),
- pay-offs to federal health inspectorys, Community Development grants
- for your lemonade stand, and so on. It's a riot, and at only $19.95

-
- - PCBmsg: The ONLINE message reader/browser/writer for ONLINE access
- to those external PCboard-format message bases used by QSO! If you
- have PLANET CONNECT, PCBmsg is mandatory! Advantages:
-
- - NO message base limit. Limited only by disk space. QSO itself
- has a limit of about 1500 message bases, but that will be fixed.
- - NO realistic limit on the number of messages! Goodbye 60,000
- limit!
- - Automatic offline reader support via QSO!
- - All your eggs are NOT in one basket. If that stray byte from hell
- hits, say, the Star Trek echo, hey, you lose the Star Trek Echo!
- You DON'T lose 249 other Fido echoes, Usenet newsgroups, private
- mail, file attaches, EVERYTHING!
- - Similar to TMM (The Message Manager), but again, each message base
- is a seperate file, and can be used with QSO.
- - Use PCBmsg's built in scanner/tosser/packer, or use your own
- utilities.
- - Access all your message bases with PCBmsg's built-in message menu,
- or access them individually from any SDL menu.

-
- - REMOTE SYSOP
- This is used to give limited DOS access to certain co-sysops without
- giving them complete access via SYSOM. It gives them the ability to
- raw upload and raw download files, rename files, delete files, copy files,
- and do a directory listing (similar to SYSOM). But UNLIKE sysom:
- 1. It has an extra password required to get into the program.
- 2. It LOGS all users that have accessed the program.
- 3. You can restrict co-sysops to certain directories and certain
- files.
- $19.95. There is no demo available right now.

- have them!!! $39.95

- Multiple games can be going on at once in there. Users
- can even take on multiple players at the same time. People can also
- watch the games taking place. Everyone can chat while it's all going on.

- any other TDBS chess game and any other chess door for other BBS systems -
- you can give your users a BETTER alternative than the other BBS systems
- in your area! Upcoming games are Chat Poker, Chat Checkers, Chat Blackjack,
- and Chat Euchre. Chat Chess will eventually be available in a full RIPscrip

-
- - GRAFFITI WALL. Similar to the "graffiti wall" features of many BBS
- systems. Written in TDBS for a professional look and feel. Can be
- set up as a menu entry, or to ask this question on logoff: "Do you want
- to add a quote to The Wall?" This is a very slick program that adds
- a nice look to your BBS. Response on my BBS was great: the users loved
- it! This is MUCH better than a Q&A graffiti wall - it supports full
- ANSI, stores quotes in REVERSE order, and allows users to Paint on the
- Wall in different colors! A must have for every TBBS system.
- Requires TDBS. Also RIP compatible. $29.95.
- DEMO (RIP VERSION): GRAFFITD.ZIP. FIDO MAGIC NAME (RIP DEMO): GRAFFITD.
-

- users be the movie critics. Comes with a base file of about 5000
- movies. TBBS sysops can share movie info: comes with an import/export
- feature complete with duplicate detection. Keeps track of how many
- reviews each user has entered so you can have a TOP BBS MOVIE CRITIC.
- This gives users more incentive to input movie reviews (they love to
- be on top of the score list). $39.95.
-
- - PURITY TEST. This ADULT's ONLY testing system will give your users the
- ability to see just exactly how 'Pure' they are or are not. This is one
- of the biggest hits on our BBS, and we're sure it would be with your
- users, too! This is a TDBS implementation of the classic public domain
- test from the boys at MIT. $29.95.
-
- - TEXT READER. This is yet another "improved type 1" program.
- This program is GREAT - supports RIP (a "RIP READER"), you can give
- it a DOS filespec for text files that can be displayed (IE
- info*.txt), has PAGE-UP and PAGE-DOWN features, the ability to SEARCH
- text files. It's great. You'll see it as the opening newsletter
- on my board. $29.95.
-
- - TOURIST SYSTEM. Cute little system allows you to set up various
- businesses. Brings up a point-and-shoot menu for users to select
- which establishment they like. This then brings them to any TBBS
- menu entry that you wish to set up for that business, if any
- (a menu, a type 1 display of a file, etc). $29.95.
-
- - SPORTS PICKS! Run a simulated "football pool" on your BBS. Just like
- your office football pool (although no money is involved). Users can
- make their picks every week, guessing who will win. Point spreads
- can also be used. Program keeps track of user statistics over the
- entire season, so you can have an overall season winner. Requires
- TDBS. $59.95.

- Show how they think about the controversial issues of the day! Users can
- add their OWN questionnaires and quizzes! Results screen shows
- percentages for each question. Quiz results shows users in reverse order
- by score. Nice menu structure. This is like the Voting Booth doors found
- on other BBS systems. Requires TDBS. $49.95.
-
- - WHAT'S HAPPENING DATABASE. Lets your users maintain a database of
- happenings in the local area: concerts, bands, sports events, etc.
- A nice little database that adds more features to your BBS.
- Requires TDBS. $15.00.
-
- - LOCAL BBS DATABASE. Let your users maintain the list of local BBS
- systems in your area. Very easy to use. Concentrates on the LOCAL
- area, not a national BBS list, and therefore is much easier to use
- than some other the other, overly elaborate BBS databases. This database
- if PERFECT if you want to keep track of the BBS systems in your local
- area. Requires TDBS. $29.95.
-
- - SUBOP MANAGEMENT PROGRAM. Allows you to define users as sub-ops for
- various file areas. Gives them access to a FAR file to move, delete,
- and make visible the files. Keeps track of number of times they used
- the management program, number of days, and last date used.

- can use this ANSI screen utility. It takes any screen you create with
- TheDraw or other ANSI editor, and creates a .PRG file out of it that
- can be compiled in with your application! An EASY way to put multi-
- colored ANSI screens into your programs! $29.95.
-
- - DUPLICATE USER FINDER. Finds users with duplicate phone numbers,
- addresses, "real names" (I use COUNTRY to store "real name"), or
- passwords. Prints a nice report including the record number so you
- can quickly GO TO the record in ULEDIT or SYSOM to delete or change it.
- Does not require TDBS. $19.95
-
- - INVISIBLE FILES REPORT. Some sysops use the /I flag on uploads. This
- allows the sysop or co-sysops (see SUBOP MANAGEMENT program above)
- to check uploaded files before releasing them. This is a better method
- than having a seperate "new uploads" area, because you don't need to
- figure out which file section to put it in and then move it - you simply
- make it visible. The invisible files report reads a FAR file, and
- reports on any files that are invisible. This makes it easy to check
- your uploads and make them available to your users quickly. Does not
- require TDBS. $19.95.
-
- - THE INVISIBLE SYSOP. Do your work on the BBS without being bothered
- by private messages, calls to come chat from your users. Yet don't
- offend them by setting your ignore flag on. Be the invisible sysop!
- But if you feel like being sociable, you have that choice too. Asks
- you each time you sign on whether or not you want to be invisible.
- $12.00.

- features on the board. $39.95.
-

- for Boardwatch Magazine online. It has a loader program that loads
- the Boardwatch text file in the database. The user can select which
- issue to read, and then within issue he can select sections and articles.
- Within an article, he can browse backwards and forwards. $99.95.
-
- - GROCERY STORE DATABASE. This program lets your users maintain a list
- of cork bulletin boards in grocery stores, laundry mats, etc in your
- local area. This can be used to develop a ROUTE to advertise your
- BBS! I have gotten a lot of new users this way. Your users can also
- use it for advertising a landscaping business, typing or secretarial,
- mechanic, handyman, etc. *FREE*
-
- - USERNAME ANAGRAMS. In this game, you create anagrams of user id's,
- and the users can try to guess them! You use the shareware program
- NAMEGRAM to find really cool or disgusting anagrams out of user's
- names, and then add them to the database. The user's can guess who
- it really is. If they get it right, they get 21 points. If they miss,
- the lose 3 points. Fun! $29.95.
-
- - FOLLOW. Hackers? Annoying kiddies? Lots of lines and hard to follow
- the baddies in the dayfile? Use FOLLOW:
- FOLLOW nightstalker
- Cost is $19.95 or $29.95 with PRTMSG.

- Cost is $19.95 or $29.95 in a package with FOLLOW.
-
- - KILLBAG. Killbag is a very simple program that is used to strip out
- unwanted newsgroups from .BAG files. You simply make a file with a list
- of newsgroups that you DON'T want. You then run KILLBAG and it will strip
- out your unwanted newsgroups. This program is part of the PCBmsg package
- but is sold separately for $19.95.
-
- - PASSBAG. Passbag is the opposite of KILLBAG, letting you PASS THROUGH
- any DESIRED newsgroups from .BAG files. You give it a source and
- destination directory. PASSBAG reads all the .BAG files in the
- source directory, and passes the desired newsgroups through to .BAG
- files in the destination directory. I use this to pass certain newsgroups
- to PIMP (copyright Jack Rickard) for processing into the normal TBBS
- message base. You could also use this to feed newsgroups to another
- sysop. Passbag comes with KILLBAG and sells for $19.95.
-
- - PASSPKT. Passpkt is the same as PASSBAG, but for .PKT files (fido).
- I use this to pass certain echoes to TIMS for normal TBBS processing.
- The rest of the 500 echoes go into my PCBmsg system. You could also
- use this to feed packet files to other systems. Passpkt is part of
- the PCBmsg package, but also sells separately for $19.95.
-
- - KILLPKT. Killpkt is a very simple program that is used to strip out
- unwanted newsgroups from .PKT files. You simply make a file with a list
- of echoes that you DON'T want. You then run KILLPKT and it will strip
- out your unwanted fido areas. This program is part of the PCBmsg package
- but is sold separately for $19.95.
-
- - MOVEIT. A very SIMPLE way to move your Planet Connect files from
- one directory to another without moving duplicates. You just do a:
- MOVEIT from_dir to_dir numdays
- No need to read 50 pages of documentation just to accomplish this
- simple function. $19.95. (Part of PCBmsg package).
-
- - MANUFACT. An online manufacturers database. For manufacturers of
- computer hardware and software - Manufacturer's name, phone number,
- fax number, BBS number, address, etc. Search on product name,
- manufacturer name, etc. $29.95.
