-
- Simple Answer: It doesn't.
-
- Complex Answer: WWIV is not multi-line. However, Arc Angel, who reads this
- newsgroup, wrote a gigantic mod which supposedly alters EACH module.
-
-
- I don't have the guts (or perhaps the stupidity) to install it myself because I
- have never heard from anyone who has done it. I'm not going to be the first,
- nor the second to try something that big. I wouldn't even if I weren't
- starting school. No one knows how to implement something that major into
- Wayne's code except Wayne himself. I've seen fix after fix after fix for most
- large, and even some small, mods.
-
- It seems as if people want WWIV to be more like VBBS. I personally don't like
- the way VBBS works, and am more than happy with one phone line, so I use WWIV.
