Steve, I'm looking to upgrade Viva! Amiga! (609 227-8278) from BBS-PC!. VA has been running with BBS-PC! since 1986 and, although there are a lot of bbs systems out there that have better features than BBS-PC!, there doesn't seem to be one that has everything that I want. These include, message threading, conversion of BBS-PC! files, customizable menus, the basic file protocols of BBS-PC! and ease of maintenance. Will BBX have all of these (plus more)? Additional features I'm hoping for are programmability (doors?), message base isolation, multi-user, multi-serial port handling, overlapped i/o (i.e. file handling as a separate task from the serial port i/o to maximize serial port throughput), multi-level activity logging, mail distribution list handling, single-user, single-file download targeting, background statistical utilities or, at least, public disclosure of file structures, ARexx manipulation… The longer I think about it the more I come up with. At any rate, if BBBX can handle the stuff in the first paragraph and most of the stuff in the second, you will have another customer here. Please keep me informed of your progress.
