Is Adam Jacobs still around? Years ago, he was searching for a copy of
his Ravics bbs software (he lost all of his backups), and someone
recently sent me a .d64 with it but his e-mail is no longer valid. :(
I wonder if he still is active in the retro scene.

I actually work with Adam and would really like to track down a copy
of this software. Let me know if you can provide one!

Thanks!

I owned Ravics BBS 64 at one time but thought the author's name was
Ron Ravic. Actually communicated with Ron via telephone......

I spent a lot of time checking out BBS's and Ravics was the one that
got my money. I liked this software a lot but it was heavy on the use
of Relative Files and when I switched to an IEEE Interface to run the
higher capacity drives it melted down.

I ended up writing my own software for the 128 - Dragonfire BBS 128
and only used a Relative file for the user data.

Good times back then!

Edit: Verified the person who authored the Ravic's BBS was Ron Hayden
not Ron Ravic. Ron Hayden also collaborated with another programmer to
create Ravic's Term as well.
