INTRODUCTION
The TriBBS API is intended to assist third-party PowerBasic v3.5 programmers
in creating doors and utilities that are specific to the TriBBS Bulletin Board
System. It contains all of the routines necessary to access the system data
files. This API is intended for use only with the TriBBS 10.x or higher
versions.
In this archive, you will find many example *.BAS programs to help guide you
toward accessing and manipulating data structures within the TriBBS System
Files.
Mouse and Screen routines have been added to help in the design of your GUI's
during your program design. Since this is the first Public Beta release, I
will be working on this API off and on as I start the rewrites of the TriBBS
Software Collection into PowerBasic v3.5. Therefore, there will be additions
to this API and/or changes during this period.
Anyone needed help, infomation, bug reports or suggestions about this API, I
can be contacted by the information below.

There is also an enclosed zip file called "APIDOCS.ZIP" which contains
seperate doc's on each of the units. Just unzip this archive and open and
read which ever one that is needed during your program design.
