Lunar Software
==============

Also listed as: Selene

"Selene, 608-274-5476, was started in 1987 while I was working at
Lunar Corporation, as a BBS focused on the profession and practice
of Software Engineering. Initially it offered file areas with C
and assembly language source code for an array of MS-DOS and Unix
software packages. In late 1987 I ran across John Galvin's 1st
Circle BBS, which was the first Fidonet hub in the Madison area.
John was also part of the group working on UFGate, the first
software package that allowed BBS sysops to carry Usenet
newsgroups and RFC-822 e-mail traffic on their Fidonet system.
UFGate caught my interest and I added various Fidonet
programming-related conferences and Usenet newsgroups to Selene
over the next two years, and further expanded the collection of
source code and programming utilities. In late 1989 I was hired
away from Lunar by Persoft (makers of SmartTerm), to build a new
product that was intended to be a ProComm-killer. Since Selene was
running (unofficially) on a computer and phone line owned by
Lunar, I had to move Selene to a computer and phone line in my
home (608-273-1406). After I left Lunar, Jim Roberts and Pat
Splinter ran the "Lunar Software BBS" on the same phone line and
computer that I had used for Selene. After relocating Selene to my
home, I switched it from Opus 1.03c to Maximus, and then in 1992
Selene was subsumed into another, larger BBS that I was running,
NineJackNine (608-256-5697)." - Ed Almasy
