the Commodore BBS Files Archive
updated 08/02/2003
Here it is, a
quality collection of rare and wonderful classic Commodore BBS
software. Given the age/availabilty of the platforms covered I
am assuming that it is o.k. to put these programs on-line as many
of the programs are way out of distribution and the owners probably
forgot about them. If any holders of rights regarding these programs
wish their property to be removed, please e-mail
me and I will do so promptly. Due to difficulties in transferring
files, I have converted the disk images into the popular Zip format.
This format can be decompressed with various utilities for the
Commodore, Macintosah and IBM. The Commodore versions of Zip Utilities
can be found at the funet.fi archive(use this link): http://www.funet.fi/pub/cbm/c64/archivers/index.htmlImage 1.2A BBS Disk Set Image BBS is in the commodore 8-bit world considered a high-end BBS, Image features are Commodore Color/Grpahics, Standard ASCII and IBM color/grapahic ANSI terminal support; 300 - 2400 baud (in it's base configuration); Multiple Drive Support, CMD-HD, RAMLink, RAMDOS Friendly; up to 999 message subboards (using a more logical post/reply chain), 999 max U/D & Drive Access areas (supporting read file, X-Modem, Punter and Multi-Punter U/D protocols), Text Files Section, C/G Movies File Section, RLE Graphics Area, Plus/Files Section (Supports modular game and other single & multi-user programs written in BASIC with access to the Image communications/filing subroutines; News Section; Daily Sayings; Local and Remote User Maintenance; built-in Terminal; Sysop Chat; and extensive message command interpreter to execute text effects and BBS macros from within messages; printer output; local and remote maintenance; 9 Access levels, options for Credit based system (upload-post +cred/Games -cred) capability; ML communications core with BASIC modular routines makes it utimately sysop accessible and programmable. These disks are from the original disks I use to run the Silicon Realms BBS. IMAGE BBS MANUAL - COVERS 1.0 and 1.1/1.2 ADDENDUMS The much needed documentation in easy to read ASCII text file for setting up your own Image BBS, all the features and commands are listed as well as the setup procedures. (use a mono-spaced font for best viewing) THE BASIC IMAGE SYSTEM DISKS: Image BBS v1.0 Disk Side 1 - Image 1 is the Base System includes all Image BBS v1.0 Disk Side 2 - necessary files to start (except docs) Image BBS Update v1.1 - Replace files on original image system with these to go up to 1.1 Image BBS Update 1.2A - Replace 1.0 & 1.1 files with these to move up to 1.2a. Image TurboRELs & Networking Modifications Replaces the old SEQuential file Message file format & directory structureswith the faster randomly accessible RELative file format witch improves calling up responses to posts (but is finiky on 1581 drives.) Also the tools for BBS-BBS networking where boards can exchange E-mails & Subboard Messages on a scheduled calling basis. The documentation for the new features are included on the disks. TurboRels for 1.2A Side 1 - Image Modification Files and TurboRels for 1.2A Side 2 - SEQ to REL Conversion utilities *** Note *** you cannot 'network' two BBSs together with these mods (the serial numbers embedded in the ML and ++ files will match and it won't allow net transfer, with the 9600 mods below that would not be the case) or contact me I have another set of serialized files... somewhere... :-) Image 1.2A Plus Files & Modifications Here are many of the Games played on Image BBSs as well as modifications to Image to improve features and/or to entice callers or more posts and uploads to the system. Other modifications improve BBS size and performance.

Commodore Color/Graphics 'Movies' Disk Pack - This.zip file contains 2 .d64 images of several character aniumations using the Commodore 64's built-in keyboard characters and cursor controls. Also on the disk is a text scroller 'demo' detailing how to create your own 'c/g movie files', a 'c/g movie maker', and my own 'C/G screen editor' which I use to make screens for my BBS (with support for C-Net's MCI color commands) and also screens for programs on the 64 (can even generate BASIC code!). Useful for the retro-Commodore BBS fan or Sysop.
