NUMBER: 1
NAME: SNIPPETS
DESCRIPTION: BASIC Snippets Conference
This area is for the discussion of good BASIC programming along with the
how to accomplish your programming goals. You can contribute to this
area--regardless of your skill. It may be asking a question that's
stumping other users, too. Or it may be helping me to get rid of an
old programming prejudice/flaw. Or...

We hope for a spirited, argumentative conference; though deplore personal
attacks and will vehemently react to such discourtesy. However, attacks
on ones code is fair game and highly encouraged. If you can't live with
that, don't contribute a new snippet.
HOSTS: Bobby Morgan
ACTIVITY: Light to Medium

NUMBER: 2
NAME: DISCUSS
DESCRIPTION: Chat about any BASIC Topic
This area is for casual discussion about programming using BASIC. It
is the conference that allows for general discussion of about any QB
related topic. It is a much more relaxed area than the Snippets area
where actual code and coding practices are the _only_ topic allowed.

Vendors are also welcome to discuss there wares--within reason.

We all need someplace to start; ask that dumb question that everybody

those FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) I could think of. I'm sure
it will be expanded often.

Participants will find information about programming
at the system level. Others are sure to accrue benefits
from such knowledge in their applications.

  1. Very nice! Thank you for this wonderful archive. I wonder why I found it only now. Long live the BBS file archives!

  2. This is so awesome! 😀 I’d be cool if you could download an entire archive of this at once, though.

  3. But one thing that puzzles me is the “mtswslnkmcjklsdlsbdmMICROSOFT” string. There is an article about it here. It is definitely worth a read: http://www.os2museum.com/wp/mtswslnk/
