- Greetings, RBBS SYSOP!
-
- Welcome to the first release of DMC OnLine Today!
-
- This comprehensive online magazine has all others beat hands-down! Simply
- unARC it into your RBBS-PC directory (or wherever your Bulletins are norm-
- ally stored), and bring up RBBS Config and change the number of Bulletins
- to 26. Additionally, you will need to change the name of the bulletins menu
- to DMCMAG, and the prefix for the bulletins themselves to DMCMG.
- DMC OnLine Today is a compiled journal of the items that effect our
- field of interest and their relationship to us. Your copy of DMCMAG! has
- non-graphic, ASCII graphic, and ANSI Graphics versions of all articles and
- menus included! A nation-wide classified advertising section is included,
- and we feel certain you'll agree that DMC OnLine Today will spark a new
- meaning to the word "BULLETINS".
- To make a long story short, we got tired of TBBS and QuickBBS boards
- making InfoMat available, and watching InfoMat refuse to make it available
- for RBBS SYSOPs. So we sat down and took a long hard look at things. The
- end result is the set of files you see before you. You should have no
- trouble at all (almost at first glance) figuring out that this beats the
- pants off any other OnLine Magazine out there.
- We made DMC OnLine Today fit easily into the bulletins section. Hope-
- fully, Jon will get the hint and make a M)agazines section STANDARD ISSUE in
- his next release of RBBS! We had considered writing doorware to support
- the magazine as a stand-alone, but felt that this would significantly
- limit our target audience. Let's hear some feedback on it!
- DMC OnLine Today is an effort at a well-rounded magazine made available
- to the general public through the most widely-used BBS software around --
- RBBS! Its goal will be to increase traffic on RBBS systems. We have more
- than a few ways to do this, and a 10Mhz. 8088 giveaway may not be too far
- away for DMC OnLine Today! If the RBBS community picks it up and likes it
- as we hope they will, we should be able to sponsor a nation-wide online
- contest to begin in July.
- A few other little tips on installation under your RBBS system : promote
- the daylights out of it. Use it as a tool to draw users to your BBS. We'll
- be here to help, too! Send us your BBS ad and we'll include it in our
- classifieds section!
- The bad news is -- we can't afford to put this kind of time into develop-
- ing a finished product like this for nothing. We are glad to let you read
- a copy of it, but PLEASE, do NOT put it on your BBS available to your users
- if you are not a subscriber! Our price of $36 per year is quite low in view
- of the fact that it A)helps you increase BBS traffic, B)costs less than
- PC Magazine, and C)we all benefit from a growing BBS publication!
- Take this copy and enjoy! Put it up for download to other RBBS SYSOPS.
- Decide if it's worth subscribing to in order to get a little more traffic
- for your board. And above all, let us know what you think of it! Call DMC
- OnLine Telecommunications Network at (501)636-2281 24 hours to see a copy
- of this magazine in full operation or download next months copy!
- Please read the file READTHIS.2ND prior to installing this package.
-
- Thank you!
