A while back, I heard of a new BBS program being written by the X-man
called BBX. Has anyone heard what has been done so far or know the status
of this program. I need something other than BBS-PC and better than
TAG-bbs.

Steve ("X") Tibbett is still hammering away on BBX. (He comes online on Plink almost nightly to brag about it :-) He's putting AREXX ports and a spell-checker into it. Last I heard he was going to go commercial with it. Who will publish it, when, and how much it will cost I know not. We've just had a "new" TAG-BBS uploaded to Plink - I think it's a heavily modified version from the original sources, done by someone other than Pat Hughes who originally wrote TAG. I don't know what's new about it - haven't downloaded it myself There's also "Custom BBS" which is another commercial effort and has been undergoing constant upgrades. A new version is now running on the "Private Eyes" BBS at 213-326-9860 which also includes an online spell-checker and other enhancements. You might want to call that board and check it out.

I need something other than BBS-PC and better than >TAG-bbs. I will be ready for beta test on a bbs program in late December or early January. I'm currently looking for beta testers with different system configurations. If you are interested contact me via email. The beta version of the bbs will concentrate more on messaging but will have an upload/download area. If you'd like to see what the beta version will look like you can call the CUTE bbs which is running an early MSDOS version of the software.
