The BBS Lister is a collection of other bbses, both local and non-local.
The BBS Lister can be reached by typing "B" from main menu. Once inside the BBS Lister, the following commands are available:
1. [A]dd allows a user to add a bbs to the list if the user has the appropriate access. NOTE: When you add bbses, try to supply information that will be easy to match against (Don't input just IBM, input IBM PC-AT. That way, you can match against `IBM', `PC' or `AT'.)
The following information is asked for during the adding phase:
a. Board name
b. Board phone number
c. Maximum baud rate
d. Board location (city, state)
e. Computer the BBS is running on
f. Software the BBS is running
g. Up to 10 line description of the board
2. [L] lists all the boards in the BBS Lister for both local and non-local areas. You are asked if you want a [B]rief or [V]erbose listing. [B]rief will give you the board name, phone number and baud rate. [V]erbose will give you all information recorded on the board.
3. [S]can is a pattern matcher. Scans can be done by:
a. Board Name
b. Board Location
c. Computer Type
d. Telephone number
e. Software
f. Baud rate
After you choose a scan option, you are asked to input a string to match. Any BBS that fits the pattern will be output. NOTE: you don't have to hit the field right on the head, any significant pattern will do. For example, if you wanted to search by computer type and choose IBM, just type `IBM' at the string prompt. Any board listed that is run on an IBM (IBM-PC, IBM-XT, IBM-AT, or IBM PS-2) will be output.
