This Bulletin Board Program is a modification to the bulletin.prg that
was posted to the Nantucket Forum. I have revised it to work on our
Novell Network. The program will search the current directory for
files with a "txt" suffix. The *.txt files are ordered by Date (most
recent on top), this is so the End-Users can find the latest bulletin
first.
The application is compiled using Clipper 5.01. No particular switches
are used. Although very simple, this program is very important to us.
I hope other Network Administrators can use this system as well. The
Application is in the public domain, so you use it at your own risk.
How we set it up:
SYS4:\SUB-DIRECTORY\APPLICATION\BULLETINS.EXE FLAG "SRO"
SYS5:\SUB-DIRECTORY\BULLETIN\*.TXT Files FLAG "SRO"
Every week the System Administrator creates a new bulletin and copies
it to the SYS5:\SUB-DIRECTORY\BULLETIN\*.txt Sub-Directory.
PLEASE NOTE: Your bulletin files must have a "txt" suffix.
If you want a bulletin board system that can be written to as well as
read, check out the Nantucket Forum (NANFORUM). File BULL2.ARC.

Very nice! Thank you for this wonderful archive. I wonder why I found it only now. Long live the BBS file archives!
This is so awesome! 😀 I’d be cool if you could download an entire archive of this at once, though.
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/
