Reed Jr.) (CSAA) To: announce@megalith.miami.fl.us Subject: 4D-BBS V2.92s Status: RO TITLE 4D-BBS (Amiga Bulletin Board System) VERSION V2.92s (V2.92s is an archive fix of V2.92d) AUTHOR 4D-BBS was written and is maintained by Dale E. Reed Jr. Copyright 1989-94 by CornerStone Software, all right reserved. CornerStone Software daler@crnstn.spk.wa.us (Dale E. Reed Jr.) P.O. Box 485 4d-bbs@crnstn.spk.wa.us (Mailing List) Veradale, WA 99037-0485 USA BBS: (509) 924-3253 V.32bis/ZyXEL 19.2k (509) 924-3288 V.32bis/ZyXEL 16.8k Voice: (509) 924-3299 (Email preferred) SUPPORT Support is available via several electronic means. These include newsgroups such as Comp.sys.amiga.datacomm, and fidonet echos. Alternatlely internet and fidonet e-mail maybe used, or any 4D-BBS support BBS (see above for number). Lastly, voice techincal support IS available, but we can sometimes be difficult to get a hold of. Email is much faster and easier. DESCRIPTION 4D-BBS is a very powerful BBS which centers on ease of use without sacraficing power. It is COMPLETLY customizable, including menus, actualy menu commands, all text files, and all string the BBS display. It IS possible to support multiple language, but we only supply a strings file in English. Network support is built into 4D-BBS with the goal to NOT import messages, but to rather read native message formats. This includes FTN *.msg format for Fidonet and RFC-812 message format for Usenet. Tosser and Mailer software for Fidonet is NOT included with 4D-BBS, but it is compatible with most of the PD and shareware fidonet software avaialble. UUCP support is achieved with the freedly available AmigaUUCP package. File transfers include XPR Protocol support, file marking with the ability to upload and download multiple files (as long as the protocol supports it). File may be searched by section or in the entire file list, and multiple, different file lists are supported. CD-ROM support is also included, and usually very easy to add sections from a CD-ROM, as it can read the text description files normally included with CD-ROM (like the 00_Index.TXT files on the Aminet CD-ROM). Multi line on a single computer and multiple computers (using a file system network such as Envoy) is supported. 4D-BBS is very system friendly, and the Sysop can work on the system, change options, etc, without disturbing the on-line user. All editors run from the CLI and can be ran from remote for complete remote access of the BBS, and the computer the BBS is ran on. Door support includes Paragon, ARexx, and FIFO. 4D-BBS has a very comprehensive ARexx port which allows scripts to be written to accomplish complex functions which are not directly available from a menu command. The hooks for incoming fax support is included, but you will need a third party fax program for 4D-BBS to spawn (like GPFax). Command accounts are also supported, which allows such things as UUCICO spawning for incoming UUCP calls, and other dos spawns which should not actually "log onto" the BBS. 4D is also spawnable from another program which has control of the serial port (such as TrapDoor). (The Demo version of the BBS only allows for 5 file and message sections, and 30 minuted on-line. Other than that, its works just like the registered version, no requestors or annoying flashing demo lights!). NEW FEATURES/CHANGES As of V2.90: - Many problems with OS3.0 and 68040 machines have been fixed - Fixed Fidonet mail problems ENHANCEMENTS: - A new Commodore Installer script to simplify installation - Env: variable support for BBS and all editors SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS - OS2.0 or Higher - HD suggested (but not required) HOST NAME Any Aminet site (i.e. ftp.etsu.edu or ftp.wustl.edu in US). Alternately, krel.iea.com (last resort or for latest update). DIRECTORY Aminet: /pub/aminet/comm/bbs Krel: /pub/4d-bbs FILE NAMES 4dv292s.lha 4dv292s.readme PRICE 4D-BBS sells for $49.95 US (but we are open for bartering). DISTRIBUTABILITY The demo version of the BBS is freely distributable and only a nominal charge for disk duplication is permitted (if needed). The keyfile a registered user receives is NOT distributable, but can be sold or transferred (contact CS for info). OTHER If you have any specific question about 4D-BBS please contact the author, Dale E. Reed Jr., for more information. Dale E.
