Won't this come up with a rather horribly fragmented drive if the BBS ends up with a LOT of users, say 1500 - 2000. What's the benefit of associating a directory with each user? --- Cal ____ HOBBIT / / / 340 Meg Online HOLE / / / 12/24/9600HST bps AMIGA: ____ / / / Exclusively Amiga \ \ \/ / / "Best Amiga BBS in FL" The computer for the BEST of us! \ \ \/ / July, 1989 Final List(tm) \_\_\/ A comfortable place to meet -------------------------------------- Cal Jones, Sysop. 904-243-6219 24Hrs

Yet another system that provides UseNet access to the masses via C-Net BBS by Ken Pletzer, and I would guess UUCPShell by Brian Vargyas and UUCP 1.08D by Matt Dillon.
