Hello! Welcome to the EX1-DOX file!
....................................
..November 1988

...  . . Notice . .  
.
This file DOES NOT cover everything,
this is just a quick file to cover
some of the options & features
available in the latest version of
EX1-BBS....

If this BBS program sounds good to
you, and you would like to register
to own this, pleze do so pronto! I
will mail you two disks full of stuff
including the latest version of the
booter,EX1-BBS,start-up file, and
also the _quotes file, and some
sub-prgrams (on-line games) that we
are now working on! Plus, a bunch of
utilities for you to use to plan and
organize and customize your own BBS.

Once you are registered, you will
also recieve our revised instruction
booklet! About 40 pages of complete
details and examples, hints,tips, and
everything you will need to know..
Also includes info on how to convert
or program U're own sub-prgs...

As a registered owner, you will not
have to pay for future updates on the
program, utilities, or revised
instruction books, you will be
entitled to all future EX1-support!!

I tried to make this BBS program as
flexible as possible, as you might
have found out, like I did, some prgs
have some great features, but they
lack speed, or just don't make it..
Well, I am constantly upgrading and
adding new features to EX1 weekly!!
I ask for suggestions & help, and use
it to continue making EX1 better..

..Some features

.EX1 will work with alot of modems,
ones I have tested OK, are 1650,1660,
1670,hayes compat,TCM-1200h,and the
newer 1670's which I call 1670+ 

EX1 supports PUNTER and X-modem
protocols, and also MULTI-PUNTER
uploaing and downloading....A block
credit system is optional....

Currently, I am working on another
protocol thata will work via the
pc-pursuit system (or other such
systems)....

can customize and produce a very
unique BBS......

This BBS program can successfullly be
run on just one 1541 or unlimited
numb of disk drives!! ALmost

of programs you already own to
prevent the users from uploading
games or programs that U already
have!!! NO more duplicates!!

option: allow user to append either
one line or whole paragraph onto the
end of any text file, great for use
as BBS lists, on-line stories, joke
files, lists, etc,etc...

instant LOG-OFF feature, if a user
wants off quickly, simply hit ! at
the main menu or transfer base, the
system will hang up, THEN save stats

option: sub-programs! You may have
on-line games, or whatever you want!
set the level to exit the prg, and
