Thank you I appreciate your help!        g0>               No problem at all.. Glad I can finally give back to ya...               g0>         g0> Thank you again but please do not stress yourself out trying to get it        g0> done ASAP. I am planning to look into PETSCII for A48 and at this point        g0> A47 is probably 1-2 weeks away, so it'd be a couple weeks before I'd        g0> even begin to look at it. There is no rush but at your leisure I would        g0> love the help!        g0>               Again no problem at all. It's my pleasure...               g0> One question I do have regarding C64 BBSes is: Do they usually store art        g0> in a file in a similar way to a PC BBS would store its art in an .ANS        g0> file? I have called into C64 BBSes back in the day but I have never        g0> actually seen a BBS from the SysOp side on a C64 so I am curious if they        g0> are similar to traditional PC BBS              Yes, they store them as text files known as SEQ files. So it is pretty much       the same stuff, just different character set..               g0>         g0> I'd love to check out Image BBS that you mention (or any others that you        g0> recommend looking at) on the C64 emulator too if its possible! I've        g0> always been facinated by BBS stuff and the C64 is one of the platforms I        g0> haven't worked with in terms of BBS software. Kind of odd too        g0> considering my first computer was a Commodore 128 (wish I still had it!)!        g0>               No Problem at all. I will send Shane the term program setup along with the       Image BBS setup, you can check it out from the sysop side and see what all       the craze was back in the 80's and early 90's.. We just released a upgrade       version back in December (3.0 yea, I did some of the programming on it jeez       LOL) and I will send you that, another simple setup just click the runme.bat       and it will boot to waiting for call..              I will get it to him soon, since we are a ways off I gotcha with the no       rush..
