DESCRIPTION
	APTBBS V1.10 is a free of charge BBS program. It is hoped that
	regular users will wish to register their version to show their
	support. But meantime they can fully access the software to see if
	it suits their purposes.

	Some features:
	-============-
	-Supports upto 256 Lines. Each lines features can be custom configured.

	-Supports xpr-protocols for filetransfers.

	-Programmed in Assembler and 'C'

	-65535 different file and message bases.

	-Paragon Door interface. Runs most if not all (We havent tested ALL
	 of the doors available!) of the old but good Paragon/Starnet doors.

	-CLI Door handler. Custom written DOS Handler that gives you SMOOTH
	 and powerful access to CLI Programs. This is a most impressive way
	 of allowing your users full access to the Amigas power. Its uses are
	 many, for example run Game Doors (Most Infocom Adventures, TIS, KNOT,
	 Hack&Slash etc etc.) or utility programs (Including a FULL shell if
	 you dare!) through the serial device. ApT-BBS! has many inbuilt
	 commands that make the use of CLI programs very easy.
 
	-Fully Customizable user chat options. Including several display
	 modes, time/day of the week responses, save chat, send/receive
	 files... etc.

	-Arexx menus and/or ACdriver menus. You choose which you prefer
	 to support.
	 ACdriver menus are a simple but very powerful structured BBS
	 control method.
	 Alternatively, if you are happier using Arexx, then you can stick
	 to that particular control system exclusively.

	-Editing Tools. You have access to a fully Intuitionised systems
	 editor. You can edit User/Files/Message/Chat...etc details easily.

	-Custom Displays. Each BBS line can be run using a custom display
	 file. You choose the options that the Line display should have.
	 (Screen type, window size/position etc.)

	-QWK Mail Bundler. Uses assembler m/c code to bundle the packets up,
	 but is otherwise driven/controlled through (you guessed!) Arexx.
	 Therefor you can configure the QWK bundler to completely suit YOUR
	 needs!

	-Supports Fidonet and the 1.MSG type mail format.
