I seem to remember that you wanted to port the program over to a PC. I
had e-mailed you about it, but during that time I still was traveling
and lost your e-mail address and you never contacted me, so I figured
you just dropped the idea, beside from what I remember there was not
much of an interest in and stand alone BBS's. I did get mine to work
with my Mac on the NET, but during the 6 months I had it up I only got 2
calls online and none dialup, so it is down for now.
Yes, your memory serves you well :) I did have an interest in porting
it to the PC.
At the time, I had developed a small interpreted language and compiler
that was quite similar to ACOS..... i still have the source code
lying around. It was originally developed to operate a simple
communications relay for a financial services firm I was working
for.... so the less experienced devs could write modules that would
download rates from ftp servers, dialup shells, etc.... all from a
simple communications language.
My recollection is that I was interested in getting access to the
original source, as i didn't have the time or patience to disassemble
the 'plugin' and 'driver' features of gbbs at the time.... by didn't
hear much back from ya.
Given my loose association w/ Tom Turley (back in the day), i figured
that you blew me off, and pretty much dropped the idea when i didn't
get a response.
