Your comments can and do make a difference. It was through the suggestions of different users that I added two of the new features to the listing, if anyone can think of any other headings they'd like to see for the local section, please let me know and I'll work it in, space permitting. I've already had to chop off the sysop names part just to make room for the SOLONONET section. I've been noticing that some indescriminate persons have been uploading portions of this zipped archive to bulletin boards, apparently in an attempt to increase their ratio. While I do not mind having others upload and spread my list, I'd appreciate it greatly if the original zipped archive were uploaded in its entirety. The listing should (hopefully) continue to appear every month on the first. Last month was an exception and hopefully I won't get burdened down in the future with work and other things that prevent me from publishing a list. Sorry to everyone who tried to find last months' listing and couldn't. If you use DOS EDIT to view this file and print it, I've added a new feature that'll prevent the file from printing all the way to the bottom of the paper. You'll notice a blank area between METAL ZONE NODE 3 and 4, this will (obviously) print the same way as it appears on the screen and leave a blank space at the bottom of page 1 and at the top of page 2. Then, if you'll use your mouse to highlight the text starting at the top of the page and continuing through the bottom of the local section, and then click on FILE and select PRINT and PRINT SELECTED TEXT ONLY, just that part of the file will print and you'll have a neat, local BBS listing. If you decide to print the entire list the rest of it won't be setup for margins at the top and bottom. ************************************************************************** DISCLAIMER-- The author of this listing makes NO claim as to the fitness for use of any of the BBS systems listed within.Some systems offer materials, adult in nature, which some users may find offensive and disgusting. If you logon to such a system and find the subject matter gross, or otherwise disgusting, it is your responsibility to hangup and not call back. It it the author's purpose to provide information to the general public on all systems in the local area. Information in the local bbs section may be incomplete or contain innacuracies which will be dealt with in future publications. The information contained in this file shall be updated on an as-needed basis. Users and/or Sysops are encouraged to leave me E-mail containing accurate updates. The Author apologizes to the system operator(s) of any bulletin boards which may accidently find themselves in the inactive listing. While I make all reasonable efforts to ensure the accuracy of this listing, if your board is down for a substantial period of time and/or I am unable to confirm its existance it is possible to be listed as 'dead'. The only remedy the Author shall offer is to publish an updated edition within a reasonable amount of time to correct an error which has been brought to my attention and which might adversely effect the user base of a bulletin board system if not otherwise corrected. Users are encouraged to upload this file to any local system, PROVIDED that the ORIGINAL zipped file is uploaded and THE ORIGINAL name of the file is used (ie, BBS01mmm.ZIP where mmm is the first three characters of the month). AND FURTHERMORE... Like most of you, I'm pretty sick and tired of calling up different BBS's and looking at outdated BBS listings. I know it's a lot of work trying to verify a BBS list every few weeks for innacuracies plus trying to keep a board looking sharp and running smoothly. So...I have contacted several boards in the local area and downloaded their lists. When and where possible, I have gone through my compiled list and verified each number. Boards which have gone out of service will be found in the Dead section. It is possible that a board which has been out of service for quite some time may still appear in this section. The reason being that it is quite possible that some BBS is still showing this board as being active, and as long as this is the case I will continue to list it in the Dead section. I will update this list as new info is made available to me. If any of you have info I missed, or if I accidently mispelled a name, entered a wrong Baud rate,etc... Please leave me a message on the BBS and I'll update my list and resubmit it. Although I have listed other BBS's which are a toll call for me(Travis AFB), for the most part they remain untested. Should you have first-hand knowledge of these boards, or others, please leave me a message on the board. One further note, there is no personal bias against any board in this listing,I attempt to present the facts and only the facts. NOTE TO SYSOPS-Feel free to allow users to access this file DIRECTLY from your bulletin menu. The February listing contains a new file, which was done with THEDRAW and is ANSI compatible. This file, named 'BULLx.BBS' is similar to the 'BBS.TXT' file you are now reading, but is shortened and includes color. Replacing the 'x' with a number (for WILDCAT! systems), it can be placed in your bulletin sub directory and users can call it directly from the bulletins menu. Users will also be able to download the full version, which can then be printed. This file is updated on a monthly basis and therefor reflects accurate information for area BBS's. You may make any changes you feel are necessary to this file(ie, customize colors, add/delete boards as changes occur, etc...). As long as I am given proper credit as the author you have creative freedom to edit its contents to give it that custom look for your board, or modify it so that it'll work on your board (I've only tested it with WILDCAT!). Thankyou....Steven Peterson aka Quark 1049 31/05/94
