-
- World Wide BBS is now shareware. If you use this program, I request that
- you send me a donation of US$30. In return I will send you all updates.
- Only registered users will have access to updates, unless there is a silly
- bug that prevents users from evaluating this program.
-
- I have a long list of what I am going to implement..so instead I will just
- list the major features:
-
- o Locale support, so alphabet's won't be restricted and you will be
- able to change the text messages to your liking.
-
- o Inter-node communications, including paging and chatting. Right now
- paging has been implemented but it is not as nice as it should be.
-
- o Full screen interface to view email, messages, and files.
-
- o UMS support.
-
- Here are a few programs that you may want to use with WWBBS, which you can
- get on Aminet:
-
- o Tin - To read usenet newsgroups.
-
- o Elm - To read internet email.
-
- o MTalk - To have conferencing.
-
- o AEd - To have a full-screen editor.
-
- I have included some doors that you can run with WWBBS.
-
- I have included a nice sysop pager written by Giuseppe Vicari. You can
- configure WWBBS to use this by copying it to WWBBS: and then going into
- MenuPrefs and adding a command, with the command string set to
- `DOSCOMMAND WWBBS:WWBBSChat'.
-
- I have included a nice remote shell also written by Giuseppe Vicari. You
- can configure this the same way as the sysop pager.
-
- I have included a fido message reader written by Marc J. Fuehrer. Refer to
- the documentation for more information.
-
- There's some new stuff I haven't quite looked at yet, but I have included
- it.
-
- Thanks to those who wrote utilities for WWBBS.
-
- Programmers please read the ReadMe file in the Programming directory.
-
- In addition to reading the documentation, please read the History file for
- changes from 3.0 to 3.1. The documentation has not been updated yet.
