    g0> That sounds great!  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.. LOL :)
