This BBS is run on a 128k TRS-80 Model 4 computer with 3 drives (1-40 track
double sided and 2-80 track double sided), and a 300/1200/2400 baud modem.
It is written in BASIC with the help of machine language.  The machine
language parts are responsible for all RS232 I/O, file searching, array
searching and moving, text editing, etc., while the BASIC portion is in
control of main program operation.

This system incorporates a large list-linked file with a RAM based index for
all bulletins and mail.  Allocation is accomplished with a bit oriented
allocation table.  This allows for completely dynamic operation so that when
a message is deleted, its space is freed.

If a user adds a new message and the system is operating at maximum capacity
(is full), the oldest message(s) is/are automatically deleted to allow space
for the new message.  This process is internal and invisible to the user.
Therefore, the user doesn't have to worry about deleting messages. Message
allocation is done in 256 byte increments.  Also, messages are sent through
a compression algorithm to increase disk space efficiency.

This system has full support of XOFF (S or Ctrl-S) and CANCEL (ctrl-C or
spacebar).
