Okay, I think I'm making headway with the sysop of our local Mac User Group
BBS that yes, you can effectively use that $1500 CD-ROM the club bought to
provide mega fun for MUG downloaders. Now, he's saying that it's impossible
because how are you gonna provide a listing of available files on the CD-ROM
so the users know what's on it to download?? Please, could any sysops who
are using a CD-ROM on their BBSs comment on the techniques you use to manage
the CD-ROM filenames. We are currently using Red Ryder Host. Thanks for
your help.
P.S. Unfortunately, I do not have access to the docs for RRH so please no
RTFMs. Our sysop probably read the bare minimum to get it up and
running...no, correct that, the old sysop who gave up the job, installed
it and head out to sea :-). That 600 meg CD-ROM is just sitting
there...lifeless...what a waste!
