This is my first attempt at posting in this newsgroup, so please forgive
me if I make any major boo-boo's.

I am curious to know if there is any PD code out there in Forth-land
that implements a Bulletin Board System.  I am currently attempting to
finally finishing learning Forth, and this is the project that I would
like to do once I'm comfortable programming in Forth.

On a related note, are there any code examples for doing X-modem,
Y-modem, Z-modem, etc. type file transfers with Forth?

Thanks in advance for any help you can give me.

	There is a tree bbs whose pd code has been circulating
for a decade or so, see _F83 Disk Library_ from Dr. Ting at
Offete Enterprises.

	There is a Forth BBS program called ARIEL that is available for
download from my bbs ( see my signature below ). ARIEL can be
viewed on the hoof, as it were, on the author of ARIEL's own BBS,
in Canada at 204-783-3650.

	Yes. These files are floating around the ForthNet here and there.
Also, see back issues of "FORTH Dimensions" magazine.
