"BBS GUIDE DESKTOP EDITION TEST DRIVE"

BBS GUIDE DESKTOP EDITION TEST DRIVE is a database of BBSes, from 
which searches can be performed at your desktop.  This disk is just 
a sample list.  BBS Guide's total database of thousands of BBSes.  
For more information on ordering BBS Guide, see order.txt in this
zip file.

BUT WHAT IS BBS GUIDE DESKTOP EDITION?
It helps to draw the analogy of the telephone yellow pages, meaning
you can search for products and services, in this case only available 
online, by subject rather than by name.  

BBS Guide allows you to search for free or fee BBSes using ANY combination 
of categories, keywords, BBS technical features and network affiliations.

We wrote the program to output to ASCII, comma delimited, 1-2-3
Excel and DBF formats.

These numbers are verified frequently so you won't have to
waste your time and money dialing non-working numbers or other
people's homes.

Instructions -
1. Extract files into any subdirectory on your hard disk.
   (Fondir.exe has been extracted from Fondir.zip for your convenience.)
2. While in this subdirectory, type [bbsguide] to activate program.
3. That's all there is to it!

IMPORTANT: Please send me an email if you have any questions,
comments or experience any problems.
