README.md

 Forth BBS 2 (1985)

A reconstruction of a historic Forth BBS system. Not much else is
known about it at this time. File timestamps and log comments seem to
hint that the BBS was used around 1985 and ran on DOS (which DOS?).

 Goals

  * Get it to run on modern hardware, an emulator or restored
    hardware that is period correct
  * Document its history
  * Get it online so that it can be used again by enthusiasts
    (probably via TCP or WebSocket proxy since I don't have a phone
    line)

 Directory Contents

  * pristine/ Unchanged source code for historic preservation
    purposes.
  * modern/ Work in progress. A modernized version of the source code
    that someday will run on modern systems or emulators. We're not
    sure yet.
  * screens/ The original screen files split and formatted in a way
    that can be easily viewed on modern systems.

The soon-to-be-working source code can be found in pristine/FBBS2.fth

 Run / Build Instructions

Unknown at this time

 Resources

I will add more resources about this package as I find them.

The BBS was originally found here: http://cd.textfiles.com/simtel/
