The Computer Plumber BBS is pleased to present the following
|
|
directory of Engineering Oriented Bulletin Board Systems.
|
|
|
|
This list contains some of the bulletin board systems which may be
|
|
of interest to you. If you know of a bulletin board system that is
|
|
strong on engineering or scientific subjects or have more
|
|
information on those listed, please leave a comment to the sysop on
|
|
The Computer Plumber BBS at 319-337-6723.

distribute as a file on any BBS if the following conditions are met:

|
|
1) The copyright notice is retained,
|

2) The registration form is included, or referenced in an

accessible location in the same place that this file is

used,

3) This file may not be used in any other form without

|
|
A friend (who I have never met) once found his similar effort in a
|
|
book in a bookstore, with no credit given to him, or any indication
|
|
of how to keep the list going. I hope that this copyright effort is
|
|
a waste of time, and evidence of paranoia.
|
|
|
|
I started doing this because of the difficulty I had in finding
|
|
these systems. I'd like to find more and let other engineers know
|
|
about them. The number one goal of this file is to get engineers
|
|
talking to each other.
|
|
|
|
Many thanks to those sysops who went out of their way to offer
|
|
editing and organization assistance.

programming on personal computers. Many of these files contain
|
|
source code. Other files are comprised of applications of
|
|
interest to professional users and many general purpose
|
|
utilities. Because of the relatively small storage space for
|
|
files, all files are of high quality and most have been
|
|
personally reviewed by the sysop.

was incorporated in California in 1982 and disbanded in 1988.
|
|
Our main interest is artificial intelligence and its
|
|
applications. We are also interested in certain technologies
|
|
related to the latest in handheld computers.

The Preservation-BBS exists to provide technical and strategic
|
|
advice to callers regarding the use of historic preservation
|
|
tools for the development of communities. Preservation is both an
|
|
art and a science requiring a multi-disciplinary approach to
|
|
community, building and site protection. Standards exist by which
|
|
all historically and architecturally significant structures
|
|
should be repaired, replaced and adaptively reused. The BBS
|
|
serves as technical resource as well as a forum for preservation
|
|
activists to explore creative solutions to the loss of the
|
|
world's cultural heritage.
