Description:
BBS, version 1.02d, is a freeware bulletin board system (BBS)
for the World Wide Web (WWW).   BBS is designed to offer a rich array of 
features in a relatively simple to configure package.  Features available
in BBS, ver. 1.02d, include:
*  A flexible access control mechanism allows explicit controls on which
   directories (file-areas) a user can peruse.
*  Directory specific headers, footers, description files, and 
   exclusion lists.
*  Optional "automatic descriptions" can be generated for  HTML, .ZIP,
   and text files.
*  .ZIP files can be "opened and displayed", with subsequent retrieval
    of a specific file from within the .ZIP archive
*  Netscape 2.01, and other HTML 3.2 compliant browsers, can upload
   files to your bulletin board.
*  Uploads and downloads can be recorded on a per user basis.
*  Downloads can be disallowed if a user's "download to upload" ratio grows
   too large.
*  Multiple links per file (text-download, binary-download, and "mime
   type" download) can be specified.
*  Easily created "latest submissions" index (that spans multiple directories).
*  User specific upload and download directory (trees) can be specified.
