I've heard a little bit about BBS/term programs for the Amiga which support graphics/sound/menus/etc. Can anyone tell me a little about some of these, and where they might be obtained? I'm interested in starting up a BBS in my area, and with the large Amiga community that's developing here, I think a graphic BBS could be successful. Thanks!

I too am interested in graphic BBS's and am beginning to program one myself (don't look for it too soon however). Atredes BBS is one BBS on the market that currently has graphic capabilities, though I was not very impressed with it. Since JR-COM supports Atredes graphics, you can use it to call an Atredes BBS and see the graphics. Anybody know of any other graphic BBS's for the Amiga? -- Rick Kent // Only California State University, Bakersfield \X/ Amiga! Internet: rkent@sparc1.csubak.edu AOL: RickK10

Skyline BBS (currently at version 1.32, I believe) by Michael Cox is probably what you're thinking of. It supports the SkyPix graphics protocol, which allows for the drawing of graphics, brushes, playing of sounds, and creation of mouse hit-boxes on screen. For a fairly good (if not fully polished) example of this BBS, call Valhalla East at 215/431-2153, based right here in West Chester. > > Shannon Lawson > Graduate Student > Bradley Department of Electrical Engineering > lawsons@csgrad.cs.vt.edu ---------- Mark Gardner UUCP: uunet!cbmvax!amix!undrground!markg Internet: undrground!markg@amix.commodore.com
