Hi,

Working on an API compatible clone, and wondering if anyone might
have definitions of which functions do what.

In some cases, I can guess, but most are pretty cryptic.

well, a clue is the mbbs and worldgroup use Btrieve as a backbone.
and mbbs also used Pharlap dos extender too.

Will your work be free software (as defined by GNU / FSF)?

That's the plan, once I get to something releasable.

Actually, I already have the curses code to replicate the console. No
functionality yet, other than ANSI window decorations and tab control
through the pages.

I'm happy to give it to anyone who's interested.

I'm interested.

Send me a copy to eric AT enusbaum DOT commer

I've been working with majorbbs.exe in IDA and have a list of exports from
the EXE, which are called from the add-on module EXE's if you'd like to see
that.

My crappy attempt at the bbsconsole is available at
http://lessjunk.com/~pheller/bbsconsole.tar.gz

I slapped the GNU GPL on the code, so feel free to do as you like --
but let's work together and get something going.

Let me know what you think.

Anyone have any suggestions for a starter product to self teach programming?
Long on aptitude, medium on time, short on patience where learning curves
are involved.
