Osiris SE v4.00
(Available after April 1, 1992)
No upgrade fee when upgrading from 3.02 so don't
wait, get your copy today.
_____________________________________________________________
Osiris SE is a fast, responsive, flexible system which
allows the owner to design much of his own CBIS without
having to write any program code.
Osiris is NOT just a BBS program, it is an INTEGRATED BBS
operating SYSTEM. Unlike many other BBS programs, we did not
just STOP with the BBS itself. We have attempted to provide
you with everything you could possible need to run a BBS.
Osiris cost less than any other BBS on the market. There are
couple of BBS' that have a base price less than Osiris but with
those BBS', the base price only covers the BBS program
itself. Many companys charge extra for add-on programs that
we provide, AT NOT ADDITIONAL CHARGE, with the package.
A lot BBS' do not even provide the add-on programs. You have
to call all over the country looking for 3rd party add-on
programs and in the process, run up a huge phone bill and you
still have to pay for the programs when you do find them.
The cost of the Osiris package is less than $6.00 a program,
based on a single line system. You can't find, download, and
register a shareware program for that.
_____________________________________________________________
First time sysops can build a system to carry out their
communications needs quickly without being burdened with
complicated setups and designs.
Advance sysops can modify the system to suit their personal
tastes so quickly you can not believe it until you try it.
Osiris has power, speed, responsiveness, and flexibility
which have never before been seen in the micro-computer
world.
What do we mean by speed? The measure of a systems speed is
how close it approaches the ideal of being limited only by
the data transmission rate.
Osiris is capable of driving the serial port in excess of
38,400 bps using a 10 Mhz AT. This means if you timed the
transmission of a 192,000 byte file, it should take about 50
seconds.
On a single user system running on a 6 MHZ AT, Osiris was
clocked at over 20,000 bps! This included reading from the
harddrive, writing to the LOCAL screen, and sending the data
out the serial port.
We are not going to say there is no other CBIS software
capable of achieving this feat, we just have not found one
yet.
What do we mean by responsive? Osiris can accepts commands
at ANY time. On menu displays or command prompts you do not
have to wait for the prompt or even the end of the line.
Your callers have the option of using advanced command
stacking or HOTKEYS. Using command stacking, they can enter
commands that may be found 40 sub-systems away.
_____________________________________________________________
As amazing as Osiris is to operate when you call in, the
SYSOP side has to be seen to be believed.
Osiris is configured and maintained using a series of GUI
programs (some programs require a mouse) and a text editor or
ANSI draw program.
Using OSM, you can define from 1 to 32000 Conference
message boards and from 1 to 32000 file areas.
You can choose the command keys, types of areas, access
levels for the commands, flags for the commands, default
log-on access levels, time limits, private system or
public.
_____________________________________________________________
Your file areas can be in individual directories, grouped
into one directory and LOGICALLY sub-divided by Osiris. You
can have your file list in one directory, the physical files
in another directory, and have the uploads for that area go
to still yet another directory, you decide.
File Queued Downloading allows up to FORTY files to be
downloaded during a SINGLE session. And the files can be
split between any number of file areas.
Advanced external protocol support allows an unlimited number
of protocols to be added, without having to resort to
batch files!
Why settle for outdated and slow protocols like Xmodem,
Ymodem, Kermit, and SEAlink when you can use faster and more
popular protocols like Tmodem, Zmodem, Jmodem, and Bimodem.
You have a proprietary protocol you want to use, just add it
in.
Full CD-ROM and WORM drive support.
Full archive support for Zip, Lharc, Arc, Pak, and ARJ (View
and extract with re-archive)
Archive integrity check on new uploads with optional
automatic virus scanning!
New files search and a FIND using a KEY word/phrase.
Each individual file listing contains information about WHO
uploaded the file, when it was uploaded, when it was last
downloaded, and how many times it has been downloaded.
Need tight control over who downloads a specific file? Osiris
allows you to PASSWORD protect individual files in PUBLIC
download areas.
Not only can you PASSWORD protect an individual file, you can
also instruct Osiris to delete the file once it has been
downloaded.
_____________________________________________________________
Creating menus is a breeze. Use any text editor and just draw
it!
Better yet, use a program like THEDRAW.
Thedraw is an ANSI "what you see is what you get" drawing
program. Select the layout, colors, and even the command line
prompt.
When your finished, compile the ANSI drawing and you have a
colorful menu ready to be used by those that support ANSI and
those that do not.
_____________________________________________________________
Osiris has a bi-polar message system with up to 32,000!
public message areas offering a WIDE range of configuration
options.
Public Message Areas (Echo or Local) have a DELAYED
POSTING option. You can assign area moderators to review
messages posted in these area and only after the moderator
has OK'ed the message will it be available for public view or
Echomail Export programs. If a moderator REJECTS a message,
the message is sent back to the person that posted it, in the
body of a REJECTION NOTICE (Moderators may work remotely).
TRUE ALIAS(tm) Support. Each caller record has a field that
allows callers to select an ALIAS name to use on the system,
in areas that allow it. New Conference mail checks as well as
Private Message Center New Mail check can find waiting mail
under the callers REAL name OR the ALIAS.
A separately maintained Message Center for Private
Messages between individuals on the system with CARBON
COPIES, Automatic Notification when the message has been
received, high speed auto-mail checking, attach Files to
Messages, and full ALIAS support.
Your callers have the option of using a line editor with
