Short: MaxsBBS 1.52 PD. Great BBS Software!
Type: comm/bbs
Uploader: leo@chefnet.com
Author: Anthony Barrett
Thank you for using M A X'S BBS! This program is the result of three
year's worth of programming. It was developed due to the lack of true
Amiga BBS programs ie. not ported from the IBM. M A X's BBS is
Copyright © 1992 by Anthony Barrett. This program is now Public
Domain and may be freely distributed.
M A X's BBS can be completely customized! Not only can you make your
own menus but you can edit and change all the BBS text and colours
using the built in text editor. You could even translate the English
text into another language. You can insert the time, date or any one
of the forty seven auto inserts anywhere in your text! You can hide
all or parts of any text to users by specifying the minimum access
level. M A X's BBS can also run most Paragon compatible door programs
along with those door programs that have been written just for M A X's
BBS.
M A X's BBS is a true ANSI BBS, ie. all the ANSI colour codes are
supported and any interruptions to the printing/sending of menus (hot
keys) and text files will force an ANSI colour code (line 36) before
the text is printed/sent. When the BBS sends a message such as "Press
<RETURN> to continue" (line 29) or warnings like "You have x mins
remaining..." (line 23) while printing a text file, the foreground and
background colour will be saved and restored before and after that
message. This will stop any colour changes in text due to that BBS
message.
M A X's BBS is one single executable file. No messy separate
configuration or FidoNet programs to worry about, it is all done with
the one program! A powerful online user editor lets the local Sysop
edit any part of the current online user, including the user's name!
A message optimizer will remove all unused space in the message base
files, this will save you precious disk space!
M A X's BBS supports the following file transfer protocols:
XModem
XModem CRC
XModem 1K
YModem (batch)
YModem-g
ZModem
All protocols have been written as close to specification as possible.
The ZModem protocol is the latest revision available at the time of
this release.
M A X's BBS has been written in Assembler. Not only does this make it
run faster but also makes the program size very small (about 240K
bytes).
M A X's BBS has a built in FidoNet front end, message importer (or
tosser) and FidoNet dialer. M A X's BBS can be easily configured as a
FidoNet Hub because of it's easy to use "FidoNet mail distribution"
window. Before M A X's BBS, BBS programs relied on separate FidoNet
front end programs and message tosser programs to set up a FidoNet
system, making them slow and difficult to configure.
