- source code.
-
- The TurboBBS source code is supplied in the following files:
-
- TURBOBBS.LBR - library of squeezed Pascal source code;
- BBSINFO.LBR - library of information files used by BBS;
- MAILSYS.FIX - bug fix for BBS source file MAILSYS.INC;
- FILESYS.FIX - bug fix for BBS source file FILESYS.INC.
-
- The BBS program is generated as follows:
