Niagara Software, a new Apple II software developer, announces, the 
 first release of the Vantage Bulletin Board System.     
                                                        
     Vantage BBS is a strong, but user friendly, BBS system that will run
 on any Apple IIc, IIe, or IIgs. It takes full advantage of ModemWorks, 
 a proven Apple II modem interface.  Because of all the editors built into
 Vantage BBS, enough features to meet even the most demanding and structured
 needs of a Sysop, modifying is not necessary.                             
                                                        
     Vantage BBS is perfect for classroom BBS systems, private clubs, 
 hacker type public systems, or large data systems.  The system is limited
 only by disk space.  99,000 files and 99,000 messages may be online at one
 time.                                                                                                    |
     Vantage has extensive E-Mail, messaging, and library systems which allow users shortcuts to almost   
 any task.  Each user can create mailing lists online for carbon copied 
 E-mail, define which message conferences to scan when global scanning, and
 search through all the libraries for a file.                   

                                                         
     Two years in the making, Vantage BBS started as a new version of MCM
 BBS.  Niagara Software purchased the rights to MCM from SofTools, Inc. and
 renamed it Vantage BBS.                                            
                                                         
     A few other features of Vantage include: extensive  messaging commands,
 online games, user utilities, library commands, voting booths, a quoter, 
 automatic mail check, Sysop feedback accounts, and has an editor to set
 most of the above to the Sysop's liking.        
                                                        
     Vantage BBS retails for $79.95, includes three disks (startup/install,
 system and editors) and a complete manual for both tutorial-like setup and        
 reference.  Niagara Software wishes to help the Apple II market prosper and
 continues to show their support with Vantage v2.0 expecting to be released      
 within 12 months.  Software support is always free and upgrades to the next
 version are only $14.95.           
                                                        
     MCM owners wishing to purchase Vantage may be eligible for a discount 
 and should call for information.
