Can anyone tell if bulletin board programs are available
for (V7 or sysV) UNIX-systems (sources required)? Public
domain would be ideal, but commercial may also be interesting.
Please reply via e-mail to: mcvax!tnosel!remco.

I would also be interested in UNIX System V Release 3 BBS Sources if there are any in the public domain. I used to run a PC BBS several years ago, and wouldn't mind starting another as long as the investment is minimal... Sincearly, Howard Leadmon cp1!sarin!wb3ffv!howardl (301)-335-2206

There used to be a BBS around here run on an AT&T 3b2 running System V and a (I'm pretty sure) public domain program called UnAcess or something like that...

SBBS is a BBS system that will run on practicly every UNIX or UNIX related system with little or no modifications as long as it has standard UNIX commands and the basic features of Bourne Shell (no functions) SBBS has many features like rot13, quoting peoples' articles with '>', etc. It should be released to the net shortly -- but until then I would be glad to mail people copies.

I don't know if it will work on a Unix system, but it is written in C and comes with some of its own header files as well. I'll be glad to bundle it up (in TAR format) or just send file by file to all those who request. A Bitnet connection is preferred but UUCP will be okay too. If enough requests appear, I'll consider posting. ..lar ----- Larry Esmonde, Director of SWORD (Students Working On R & D) Computer Science Dept.

This request seems to pop up about once a month. If you want a system packaged like a BBS, unaxcess has been posted to comp.sources.unix some aeons ago, so check your archive sources. But really, don't you *have* a BBS already? BBSs provide two things: a discussion forum (you've got netnews, or you wouldn't be reading this), and a way of downloading files. One approach is to create a newsgroup and never expire the articles. Alternatively, create a directory /usr/spool/uucppublic/bbs, with uucp permissions set so everyone can request articles from it (so you don't need to keep everyone in your L.sys file), and keep an up-to-date file called /usr/spool/uucppublic/bbs/Index that says what files are there. If the directory gets too big, make subdirectories. If the purpose of the BBS is to distribute MS-DOS software, get the UUPC package, which lets people run uucp on MS-DOS. -- # Thanks; # Bill Stewart, AT&T Bell Labs 2G218, Holmdel NJ 1-201-949-0705 ihnp4!ho95c!wcs
