• Why I like Winserver

    From Mike Dippel@999:1/1 to All on Saturday, November 08, 2025 14:14:24
    When I post messages in the Health network, I like the fact that I can cut and paste via
    the web interface. But even better, there is a SEARCH feature included in the web
    interface.

    After posting about what quantity of rice is healthy, I decided to do a search for the
    keyword of rice, and got a lot of results.

    Winserver is by no means the best BBS software, but it does have some great features.

    I thought about it a while back, but it seemed too expensive for a bbs

    Yes, it is now expensive. I purchased it when it was first ported from DOS to Windows
    at an introductory price many years ago.

    Funny. Currently, Im playing with the newest Renegade on a Windows XP VM.

    The fossil doesn't like me for some reason. :-)
