    <Jcurtis> deleted /xfer/bbs/pcbv016.r00

    If anyone downloaded this set of files and thinks they're useful,
    feel free to re-upload them to Vertrauen.

    was that the pcboard rewrite by ozz nixon?

    No, supposedly it was buildable PCBoard source from Clark Development, but updated build files

    Correct. Not a "rewrite" on github. That would take man years. Not feasbile for one person.

    Corey Blake bought a PCBoard source code license from CDC shortly before they went under. But it would not build due to missing pieces. I constructed those by hand and got it to build.

    The source-built PCBOARDM.EXE works on my test BBS. But I'm only interested in source code, not running a BBS. For that you need a TCP FOSSIL like one I wrote for Novell DOS TCP/IP. It's a chore to get Novell DOS TCP/IP configured and working. Who would want to. IDK why, unless you like to tinker with PCBoard source code.

    The deleted files are obsolete. I'm at PCBV019.ZIP now. I uploaded it to Luis Silva's BBS. That's were it belongs anyway. He was a principal distributor for CDC in Europe.

    I wish someone would make a PCBoard server that just runs the PPEs. Much like the MajorBBS rLogon server that allows you to play MBBS games without having the BBS.

    IDK why not. With source code you can do most anything.
