                      RBBS-in-a-Box CD-ROM

     Welcome to the world of RBBS-PC!  As a Sysop (System Operator)
I am sure you will share many of the same positive experiences that
I and other Sysops have enjoyed since first setting up RBBS.  In
addition to the many hours of enjoyment it has provided as a hobby,
I can honestly say that the friends I have met through RBBS-PC are
some of the best friends life can provide.  Many of those who I
count as my closest friends today are friends I have met through
my bulletin board.

     Be sure to review the accompanying documentation.  If the
booklet is not handy, the information can be found in the following
files:
