Introduction
============
This archive contains the user's manual for a 2AM-BBS. This
program was written and copyrighted by Chris Gorman and Neil
Clarke (hereafter referred to as "us"), and is currently
running in a couple of locations and hopefully will be
running in even more locations soon. Since we really wanted
to do a thorough job of documenting the program and
introducing everyone to it, we have written this user's
manual and distributed it.
1
2AM-BBS is written completely in TURBO Pascal and is fast,
efficient, and includes all the features found in your
favorite BBS programs (and a few more!). The manual goes
into every user option in 2AM-BBS, and we hope that you can
use it to become acquainted with the program and get around
the software with a minimum of hassle.
RESTRICTIONS ON USE
===================
This manual is the property of Chris Gorman and Neil Clarke
and only the two of us can sell it for a profit. However,
you may distribute this user's manual free of charge to
anyone who would like a copy of it.
Please do not modify it with intents of misrepresenting the
layout or capabilities of the program; that is rotten on
your part. If you would like to add comments or point out
inaccuracies, please contact us and we will be very happy to
include your comments in the next release of the manual. If
you want to have some fun, you may put your name and
city/state on the second page of the manual (which we have
left blank for that purpose). This is just so that people
can see how the manual got tracked across the country
(ocean??), and we really hope that no one would be abusive
or destructive with that privilege.
2AM-BBS's
=========
A complete list of 2AM-BBS's is kept at the Drew University
Underground (201-377-8245) in the BBS database. Right now
we don't have a published list, but in the next release of
this manual, a list will be included in the archive.
Program Specifications
======================
-----------
1. Turbo Pascal is a trademark of Borland International
2AM-BBS runs on any IBM PC-XT/AT or compatible. A specially
modified version is also available for the Epson QX-16
running DOS. We have also made additional modifications to
2
allow the program to run on a Bi-Tech Star Network. On a
network, you can have 2-8 QX-16's AND/OR IBM PC-XT/AT or
compatibles multiplexed together running the same software.
In addition, a version that allows you to run the program
off of 2 or more serial ports on an IBM-PC/AT or compatible
should be ready by January of 1987. The program currently
retails for $75 which includes the software, a sysop's
manual, a copy of this user's manual, the home phone numbers
of the authors who will be glad to answer questions that
come up and lifetime free updates (we have gotten addicted
to updates). If you are interested in purchasing the board,
contact us through feedback at the Drew Underground (number
above).
