- APPENDIX B -- RBBS-PC Software Registration
- -------------------------------------------
- Frequent inquires are made asking how many RBBS-PC systems are in
- operation, or about a "master" list of RBBS-PC's. Since RBBS-PC is freely
- distributed, attempts to get SysOps to register the product have been in
- vain. However, in an attempt to help SysOps (and potential SysOps)
- everywhere find configurations that most closely match their own, and to
- help users find more RBBS-PC systems, we ask that you register your copy of
- RBBS-PC. The information you supply will be used to maintain an "ACCURATE"
- listing of all publicly available RBBS-PC systems. The success of this
- endeavor depends on you. Please complete the BBS info file LG-9999.DEF
- supplied with this release of RBBS-PC and send it to:
-
- RBBS-PC SOFTWARE REGISTRATION
- P.O. Box 31024
- Palm Beach Gardens, FL 33420-1024 U.S.A.
-
- To make sure your registration is current, please remember to send a copy
- of your registration form at least once each year. You can also call The
- RBBS-PC technical support BBS and upload a copy of the form. An online
- database of all respondents will be available on the technical support BBS:
- (407) 627-6969 or 627-6862.
-
- If you need a good reason to complete and return the information, read on!
- As RBBS-PC continues to evolve, we must make decisions that will affect
- you. If we know who you are, and what your environment is like, we are
- less likely to introduce a new version of RBBS-PC that will not run in your
- environment!
-
- THE BBS IDENTIFICATION STANDARD
- -------------------------------
- To help BBS list editors, and other users searching for your BBS, we have
- started what we hope will be an industry standard. Please implement it on
- your BBS. Here's how:
-
- 1) Complete the LG-9999.DEF file and place it with your other LGn.DEF
- files.
- 2) Create a user with first name "BBS", Last name "VERIFY", password
- "CALL".
- 3) Set this user's SECURITY to -9999.
-
- Now, any time a BBS list editor calls for a quick check, he'll use the name
- BBS VERIFY and a password of CALL. Your BBS will quickly display the
- information he needs, and then hang up. Any user who is curious about your
- BBS can do the same. If ALL BBS systems implement this, keeping track of
- the fast moving BBS community will be much easier. Please, do what you can
- to convince other SysOps to implement this simple procedure.
