- 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.
