[comp.sys.mac.comm] Full Screen Editor for BBS

elk@anaconda.cis.ohio-state.edu (Edwin L King) (01/10/91)

  I'm setting up a BBS for a special-interest group I'm in, and there
are a couple things I need that I haven't found in any commercial or
shareware BBS software

  An important restriction is this is not going to be primarily a Mac
audience, so Telefinder is out.

  Here are things I am looking for:

  1) Full-screen editing capability -- a vt100 compatible full screen
editor or something similar. It doesn't have to be very elaborate.
Anything is an improvement over the line editors I've seen on most systems.
  I know it is possible to do this with the Taniwha BBS development
system, but I just want to see if I can avoid building my own.

  2) Large or sysop adjustable limits on posting size.
  3) Message aliasing
  4) Ability to upload a message via xmodem or zmodem and use it as
the body of an email message.
  5) Large or unlimited numbers of file areas/boards.
  6) ability to follow threads in postings

  I appreciate any suggestions!
