BBS-TRANSY
==========

"That was mine! You've got an entry for it that's incomplete. It
actually had six phone numbers, any three of which could be used
for the BBS at once. (These were Transy's original/old dialup
lines for their IBM mainframe.) I started it as an exercise in
learning Fortran IV, and it kind of got out of hand. Somewhere, I
still have the source code! It was all in FORTRAN IV, and ran
under MUSIC/IUP and later MUSIC/SP. We did three releases to the
MUSIC Users Group - Release 1 was v4.0, Release 2 was... I forget,
v7.2f or something? Release 3 was v14.mutter. We had extensive
messaging systems, private mail, group-limited message boards (via
ACLs), RPG areas, and what have shortly thereafter been called a
hypertext section as well, with some scripting. We also had file
transfer, but it was very, very lame - it was overwhelmingly a
social BBS. Typical userload throughout the evenings was 10 -
three on the dialup lines, seven or so students logged on via
at-school terminals. Some other people at Transy started work on a
parody BBS system called 'SNOT (get it? ar ar ar ar ar ar) but it
never got very far. (note that you have my first name spelled
wrong in your current listing. BTW, my nickname is Dara. ^_^ )"
