It's a rewrite of PCBoard with all pros & cons.

May be easier to set up than the original PCBoard in some ways but PCBoard was known for it's hard and unintuitive setup.

So IcyBoard takes another approach that mystic/synchronet/enigma where you've a BBS with all bells and whistles after a small setup process.

OTOH it's a platform to run PPEs - so you've access to thousands of plugin options to configure it. It looks, feels and works like PCBoard - just on modern OS.

I've a new PPL compiler - which is way better than anything available for PCBoard - it can produce PPEs for any old PCBoard version and the language got extended a bit. (IcyBoard extended PPL in many ways - see docs.)

And IMO the best PPE decompiler available - so if you need a decompiler for PPE - take this :).
