The documentation (all of it contained in self-running programs that display it) describes EZBBS breathlessly: "Finally, a feature-packed BBS has arrived that can be managed completely with an ordinary text editor. It's EZBBS! And like the name says, its so user friendly and quick to set up, you can actually be online in minutes! ... EZBBS is intended for those interested in SIMPLE easy to manage BBS systems for either hobby or business communications."

EZBBS charged $75 for registration, and $150 for registration with access to source code.

The documentation indicates that the software was written in Bob Zale's Power Basic Version 3.
