It has a few quirks I didn't like, that probably could be patched. I looked at the XBBS but there are a lot of System V things that need to be changed to run on the 16's System III derived Xenix. It depends on what you need/expect of a system - and I found after running a TBBS in a Z80 environment for years that I didn't like the UA. If you start getting many messages on it, and delete lower numbered messages it gets slow. Brandon Alberry - moderator of one of the comp.sources groups here is the author. He could answer more questions. As for me - I became a usenet node. -- Bill Vermillion - UUCP: {uiucuxc,hoptoad,petsd}!peora!rtmvax!bilver!bill : bill@bilver.UUCP

I believe the author is Braddon Alberry, the keeper of the comp.sources.misc archives [alberry@ncoast I think]. -- Dave Hammond ...!uunet!masa.com!{marob,dsix2}!daveh
