The “BBS IN A BOX” CD-ROM is designed to allow Macintosh Bulletin Board Systems (BBS) running First Class, Hermes, Mansion, MUBBS, Nova Link, Second Sight, and Telefinder BBS software to link their system to the CD-ROM for an instant 1.95 GIGABYTE public domain and shareware library. BBS users may then read all of the descriptions from the CD-ROM directories and decide which files they desire to download.
This same library may be used by individuals who want the most current collection of Macintosh shareware and public domain software available at their finger tips. Descriptions of these files are provided in a number of formats including On Location, text format, Filemaker Pro, "Show Info" and our HyperCard index “PD Pig Out!”
