    The objectives of the OS2DOSBBS echo are:   
      
    1. To provide a forum in which messages pertaining to running a DOS   
       based BBS under OS/2 can be exchanged. It is for the technical   
       support of OS/2 and DOS BBS interaction, not OS/2 programs.   
      
    2. To provide technical support for newcomers to running a DOS based   
       BBS under OS/2.   
      
    The rules under which messages are to be exchanged in this echo are:   
      
    0. The preferred language is English, but this is not compulsory. Since   
       most of the participants will be fluent in English, any problem   
       reports will receive the widest scrutiny if they are written in   
       English.   
      
    1. Real names only. No pseudonyms, "handles", "monickers" or aliases.   
      
    2. Relevance to topic. Posts should pertain to installing, setting up   
       and operating a DOS based BBS specifically in the OS/2 environment.   
      
    3. Advertising. A maximum of 1 advertisement per month by the   
       author/publisher of software relevant to the topic of the echo will   
       be permitted. Other products must NOT be advertised.   
      
    4. No flaming or abusive language will be tolerated. Also, excessive   
       profanity is not permitted. Please remember the sensibilities of   
       others before you upload that QWK packet.   
      
    5. Let the moderator do the moderating. Do not reply to "test" messages   
       from BBSes that have just joined the echo. Do not reply to off-topic   
       messages or flames. These will all be dealt with by the moderator.   
      
    6. You may post uuencoded, xxencoded or base-64 encoded message only   
       with the PRIOR APPROVAL of the moderator. When asking for approval   
       please state the approximate size of the message, its content and   
       usefulness to the other participants of the echo.   
      
    7. The OS/2 platform is deemed to be:   
          Native OS/2, both text and PM;   
          Virtual DOS Machine (VDM & WIN-OS/2) session.   
      
       The only reason to discuss OS/2 programs in this echo will be if   
       those OS/2 programs provide features and capabilities specific to   
       running a DOS based BBS under OS/2.   
      
    8. High ASCII is permitted, except 'FF'X, but low ASCII (below '20'X)   
       is not permitted beyond the standard CR/LF/etc., characters.
