Disk No: 1136 Disk Title: Searchlight BBS (Disk 1 of 2) PC-SIG Version: S1.3 Program Title: Searchlight BBS Author Version: 1.31 Author Registration: $35.00 to $95.00. Special Requirements: Hard drive, a modem, DOS 3.1, and PKUNZIP. Looking for a bulletin board system that's both powerful and easy-to-use? Take a look a SEARCHLIGHT BBS. Unlike other bulletin board systems, SEARCHLIGHT BBS is user friendly with both you (the system operator) and those who call in to your system. It has an easy to understand menu command system, so users who call in to your system need no documentation or help from you to use the bulletin board system. If any help is needed, the program has an on-line help system. Moreover, it has some significant features, such as optional ANSI graphics and color selections for the screen, customized menus, public message boards, private mail, a full-screen text editor (compatible with WordStar commands), and a file transfer system with both Xmodem and Ymodem transfer protocols. SEARCHLIGHT BBS has password protection and 255 levels of security, letting you control access to your system. Like other bulletin boards, this one can be left unattended while callers leave messages and transfer files to and from your board. The program lets you specify an upload/download ratio for all who use the file transfer system, so there is a fair trade-off of programs. There is a complete electronic mail system with up to 24 message subsections, each with up to 300 messages. SEARCHLIGHT BBS has enough system operator utilities so you can easily manage the system from a remote location, and also shell to DOS to run a program or DOS command.
