1. My programs are written by me, for me and not for anyone else.
2. There are bugs in my programs. If they annoy me, I fix them.
3. Source code is to be understood only by me.
4. Some code is optimized for speed, some for RAM usage.
5. My programs are written for my system.
6. This is a learning experience, not a software factory.
7. Money is the root of all evil.
And BLA BLA BLA!
Having my fill of writing programs for someone else to sell, I made a
decision to do it my way. So what you get is an unpolished kludge of
software. You (anybody) asked for it. These things run on my system,
and darn little effort was made to have them run on yours.
This is perhaps an apology for my sloppy code. There were no examples
to guide me, only years of try it, try something else, and if that doesn't
work then try again. The remnants of which I am sending you. Maybe, but
unlikely, in 5 years you may see a presentable version. So do as you wish
with this code. Fix it, change it, give it away, throw it away ....
anything but sell it.

AmigaBBS
I was running and modifying my packet terminal program for years. Then I
wrote this BBS thing to run in local mode, and for lack of anything better,
the two were quickly combined.

EQUIPMENT
AMIGA 1000 with 1 MEG RAM at location 000000 and 2 meg RAM at 200000.
1 external 3.5" drive, 2 external 5.25" drives.
Kantronics KAM TNC, CTS/RTS handshaking, serial pins 1,2,3,4,5,7 run
straight thru to Amiga, pins 6 & 20 jumpered on Amiga.
Also pin 8 (CD) jumpered to 21 (+5volts) on Amiga.
Check Amiga 500 Serial port! Do NOT run all 23 wires!!

AmigaBBS P0118 1/18/87
These seed files must be on a disk named B: or in a subdirectory assigned
to B: as the BBS looks for files in B: such as "B:DIR".
DIR - message directory listings
USR - User data
FWD - Mail forwarding and header info
0 - An info message about system
1 - Help message for commands
Edit message B:0 and B:1 as you see fit.
The AmigaBBS program is made to run on all Kantronics TNCs, but for
those in need of a packet terminal program for another type of TNC, then
the terminal part of this program may fill your needs. AmigaBBS is small
in size so there isn't much wasted if you do not use the Packet BBS
features. Best to contact me on packet before running the BBS to get
the latest version.

If program just hangs, could be because SERIAL pin 20 (DTR) & 6 (DSR)
are not jumpered on Amiga. Also have pin 8 (CD) & 21 (+5volts) jumpered.
Default BAUD is 9600, type F3 key to change.. 9600,2400,1200,300 BAUD are
available. It is a borderless window, but CLOSE,DRAG,FRONT/BACK,SIZING
gadgets are always there, just not visable all the time.
F1 - Toggles CAPTURE file OPEN/CLOSE. Prompts for filename and defaults
to Current Directory (CD) if DISK path (DF1:DIR/FILENAME) not used.
F2 - Toggles SEND file OPEN/CLOSE. Prompting.
F3 - Changes BAUD, 9600,2400,1200,300.
F4 - Nothing
F5 - Toggles MONITOR MODE. Kinda cleans up received packets when just
monitoring activity. Needs "HEADERLN ON" TNC parameter set.
Makes monitoring look somewhat like connected mode, Deletes call
headers, deletes duped lines, deletes trailing spaces. Saves screen
and CAPTURE space.
F6 - Opens NEWCLI. Useful when you bomb a task. Remember this key !!
F7 - Used for testing new commands.
F8 - Nothing
F9 - Toggles AmigaBBS enable. Clears "C" connect history from HELP line.
F10 -Causes exit from program, same as CLOSE gadget in upper left of
window. If AmigaBBS is running, will disconnect user and clean
house. Press F10 again to exit program.
HELP- Prints info line in window.
^ means someone IS connected to BBS.
M means in MONITOR MODE.
B means BBS enabled.
C means someone connected to you or BBS while you were out.
XXXX filename=OPEN/CLOSED for capture file status.
9600 BAUD - obvious.
XXXX first number is byte coune in capture file.
XXXX 2nd number is line count in capture file.
NOTE: These numbers are START ADDR and END ADDR of program until
a CAPTURE file is opened.
