PC-SIG version 1.2

Looking for a bulletin board system that's both powerful and
easy-to-use, then take a look a SEARCHLIGHT BBS.

Unlike other bulletin board systems, SEARCHLIGHT BBS is designed to be
user friendly with both you (the system operator) and those who call in
to your system through other modems.  SEARCHLIGHT BBS has an easy to
understand menu command system, so that users who call in to your system
do not need any documentation or help from you to use the bulletin board
system.  If any aid is needed, the program has on on-line help system.
Moreover, SEARCHLIGHT BBS has some significant features, such as
optional ANSI graphics and color selections for the screen, customized
menus, public message boards, private mail, a full screen text editor
(compatible with WORDSTAR commands), and a file transfer system with
both XMODEM and YMODEM transfer protocols.

SEARCHLIGHT BBS has password protection and 255 levels of security,
allowing you to control access to your system.  Like other bulletin
boards, SEARCHLIGHT BBS can be left unattended while other callers leave
messages to you and others, and transfer files to and from your bulletin
board.  The program allows you to specify an upload/download ratio for
all who use the file transfer system, so that there is a fair trade-off
of programs.

SEARCHLIGHT BBS has a complete Electronic Mail system and can have up to
24 message subsections, each containing up to 300 messages.  SEARCHLIGHT
BBS has enough system operator utilities so that you can easily manage
the system from a remote location, and also shell to DOS to execute a
program or run a DOS command.
