Apple-Net BBS Software
|
|||
|
|
======================
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
<< Latest version of Apple-Net is 2.3F. Please note that pirated copies that
|
|||
|
|
you may have seen going around are NOT guaranteed to work. Only the latest
|
|||
|
|
version, purchased directly from us, is guarenteed to work as follows! >>
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Apple-Net will run on any Apple //+, //e or //c with at least one disk drive
|
|||
|
|
and a modem. Apple-Net supports the Novation Apple Cat (at 300/1200 baud),
|
|||
|
|
Hayes Micromodem II and IIe, and the Apple Super Serial Card w/Smartmodem
|
|||
|
|
compatibles (at 300/1200/2400 with a slight serial-cable hardware modification
|
|||
|
|
which is thoroughly explained in the documentation). All DOS 3.3 compatible
|
|||
|
|
disk drives are supported--you can configure Apple-Net for one floppy drive, 6
|
|||
|
|
floppy drives, or even a hard drive. (A ProDOS version of Apple-Net will be
|
|||
|
|
available soon--if you wish to be notified upon its release, leave [F]eedback
|
|||
|
|
to the Sysop with your name & address to let him know).
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
The nicest thing about Apple-Net, as many Sysops around the country keep
|
|||
|
|
telling me, is its ease of setup & use. Apple-Net was designed with the Sysop
|
|||
|
|
in mind. Everything is menu-driven and easy to use. For example, to add
|
|||
|
|
seperate boards for different topics, the Sysop just selects the Bulletin
|
|||
|
|
Board Editor, and enters the name of each board, the access level, and the
|
|||
|
|
drive where each board is located. The BBS then creates a board menu
|
|||
|
|
automatically and takes care of all the housekeeping. The same goes for
|
|||
|
|
General Files & Downloads.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Features of Apple-Net include:
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
o Extensive Electronic Mail section o Infinite number of sub-boards
|
|||
|
|
o Downloading of programs o Uploading of files
|
|||
|
|
o Complete message editor o User password protection
|
|||
|
|
o Sub-menu'ed Feature Articles o Fast "Word Wrap" in Editor
|
|||
|
|
o Old message auto-deletion o "Slash" message editor commands
|
|||
|
|
o "Trick backspacing" in msgs. o Configurable "Spinning Cursor"
|
|||
|
|
o Full upper/lowercase ability o Easy-to-use Sysop utilities
|
|||
|
|
o Reliable carrier-loss detection o Easy and quick to set-up
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Apple-Net BBS is guaranteed to never be "crashed" by anyone. The program
|
|||
|
|
is very sound, and any attempted "system crashers" are simply hung-up on
|
|||
|
|
by the system. Apple-Net, unlike other BBS programs such as GBBS, is also
|
|||
|
|
guaranteed to contain no "back-door". This was done for obvious reasons.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Apple-Net comes on a double sided disk with the programs on the front, and
|
|||
|
|
complete, comprehensive documentation on the back side which can be viewed
|
|||
|
|
on your computer screen or dumped out to your printer.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Updates may be made to Apple-Net periodically (minor modifications, bug
|
|||
|
|
fixes, new features, etc.) and will be announced on The Safehouse BBS. You may
|
|||
|
|
receive any updates tha are made to the program, free, by sending your
|
|||
|
|
Apple-Net disk and a dollar (for postage/handling).
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
I know its difficult to purchase software by just reading about it. If you
|
|||
|
|
would like to see Apple-Net in action, you may want to try one of these
|
|||
|
|
bulletin board systems currently running Apple-Net:
|
|||

|
|
|||

|
Stronghold North...612/588-7865 MCMLXXXV...........612/729-1985

|
|||
|

(Note that some of these BBS's may have made some minor modifications
|
|||
|
|
to the actual Apple-Net software which makes them a bit different.)
