THE PIT USER INTERFACE SALES DOC
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
For PIT SYSOP's eyes only!



Hello SYSOP!

I welcome you to a new idea that we have developed. For years BBS SYSOPS
have been trying to come up with ways to make their BBS's profitable. This was
desired for obvious reasons. Not necessarily for greed sake, but simply because
of the expense of running your own computer 24 hours per day to let other
people use it. Unless you have a 3-20 line system with GIGABYTES of files
getting people to pay is next to impossible.

In response to this need we have developed a game the likes of which as yet
are not available. Although we know that it is just a matter of time before
more people begin developing them. We have decided that we can set a precendent
that will force other authors into following suit.

Granted we could create GRAPHICS interfaces for many games and sell them
directly to the users and bypass SYSOPS entirely. But we feel that we should
help support those on which we are dependent. Let me explain in detail how our
sales will occur.

SALES
~~~~~
We are charging users a set price of $25 for the EGA interface, and $20 for
the ANSI interface. However your prices when you have registered are
considerably lower. You charge your users a little more for the interface than
we charge you and you make a profit from running a BBS.

We handle all of the technical support for you. You make money by providing a
place to play the game, and a local source for purchasing the interface. We
expect this to have a drastic effect on your BBS usage. And systems that already
require paid memberships could see a substantial rise in memberships.

Our BBS is being adjusted to allow REGISTERED SYSOPS to download their
orders from our BBS. And we are installing multiple lines, and HST DUAL MODEMS
to make redialing, and transfer as short as possible. We can also ship 3 day
UPS or even Next Day Air if speed is an appeal, and if you lack a HIGH SPEED
MODEM.

If anything in this document is confusing or you just simply need more
information than this document was able to convey please call us:

  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/
