M A X'sBBS Demo Version 1.33
----------------------------
(C) Copyright 1992 by Anthony Barrett
Welcome to the M A X'sBBS Demo. If you are just a BBS or a real sysop,
this file is definatly worth taking a look at. M A X'sBBS is the most
powerful and comprehsive BBS Package available for the Amiga. Infact, it
puts 99.9% of the IBM BBS Packages to SHAME. It features:
- FULL Fidonet capabilities. It uses a unique way of setting up points
etc. It is powerful enough to be a hub to upto 200 different nodes.
- MultiNode - M A X'sBBS Can support an unlimited amount of nodes
running at the same time.
- Full ANSI support - M A X'sBBS is capably of displaying almost
every ANSI code in the standard. You only need one menu set for
both ANSI and non-ANSI users - ANSI codes, are automatically
filtered out "on-the-fly" by M A X'sBBS if the user doesn't want
them.
- M A X'sBBS Supports THE FASTEST Text routines around. It clearly
outruns anything else.
- M A X'sBBS supports the 6 major protocols including the latest and
the most complete implementation of the Zmodem protocol. It uses
it's own built-in routines for super-quick transfers.
- M A X'sBBS has a FULLY menu driven sysop interface. Everything is
done via mouse, menus, gadgets and windows. The BBS has 1 config
file that does EVERYTHING! When you get the demo, just run it! No
setting up needed at all. Everything concerning the BBS is
configured via the mouse and windows - The Amiga Intuition
interface. There are 10 windows, each configuring seperate parts of
the BBS:
1. Paths and Options
2. System
3. Modem
4. Menus
5. Sections
6. User defaults
7. Text
8. Macros
9. Fidonet
10. Distribution
M A X'sBBS Also features a complete intuition file editor and user
editor which use file requesters for quick and easy maintnence.
- M A X'BBS features Sysop programmable Macros. The f1-10 and F1-10
keys can be programmed to do anything (including log you on). They
can even send an ASCII textfile!
- Every single string that the BBS displays can be changed via the
Text Editor Window. Textfiles can even be displayed from within a
text line!
- 55 special charcters can be inserted ANYWHERE within the BBS. Ie:
Your name is %f in a textline, menu or ANYWHERE would turn out as:
Your name is M A X (Or whatever the user logged on as)
There are even special control codes to pause a page or log a user
off.
- The BBS can be fully iconified into a small window on the WB
screen. The window displays the node number, the user who is
currently online, and the current menu function being used.
- M A X'sBBS menus are simply textfiles, the actually commands are
configured via a pull down menu in the main program. As usual, the
textfile can say ANYTHING.
- M A X'sBBS can run and supports paragon doors - A popular type of
Door protocol that was origionally developed for Paragon BBS
(lame), but is now extensively used in other BBS packages.
M A X'sBBS also has an "extended" door port for much more power
(That Paragon's specifications LACKED - suprise suprise). There at
least 15 utilties already written for M A X'sBBS. Including
Split-screen chat etc.
There is so much more about M A X'sBBS. Download the demo and check it
out!! I truly belive this BBS Package out-shines everything else on the
market.
