- 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.
