I have tested the from_author files under DOSBox, and they seem to work fine.

Steps to repeat:

  1. Checked out and built DOSBox Subversion repository from SourceForth.
  2. cd to from_author
  3. Run DOSBox without any special configuration.
  4. Type in DOS: MOUNT C ., then C:
  5. Run the FBBS_PRECOMPILED.EXE file (FBBS_P~1.EXE in DOS).
  6. Type to F-PC: fbbs use fbbs45.dat
  7. Now the BBS vocabulary is available. Type e.g. read help

Questions remaining:

  1. How to make the BBS available on the net. Can it do I/O on a COM port?
  2. Can multiple users access the BBS in parallel, or just one at a time?
