[comp.sys.apple] BASIC BBS problems

If I make a suggestion, try looking at the ModemWorks package -- it is much
easier than trying to write a BBS ALL in BASIC.

It offers a wide variety of commands using the ampersand (&) hook, such as
& WHEN NOT ON LINE GOTO <line_number>, & LIST <file_name>  (send file to
screen/modem), and many, many more.

Just ask anyone on the net who has used it -- it is a must if you are trying
to write your own software under ProDOS 8.

If you want more info, try contacting mdavis@pro-sol.cts.com or
crash!pnet01!pro-sol!mdavis -- he is the author of ModemWorks and AmperWorks
(they both come in one package).  I believe the price is $59.95.
