Some random thoughts on shared code development.
Most of the existing bbs codes are written as monolithic single
For example, some of the modules which a bbs system needs are a message
database; a user information database; a communications mechanism; etc.
The advantage of doing the work in this manner is that each module can
be written and tested independently of the other modules, and modules
Another advantage is that the authors do not need to all use the same
language, compiler, or software development environment. As long as
The disadvantage is that the interfaces need to be well defined
and public. It is hard work to create the interface specifications.
However, there is a start for one of the interfaces.
There are several other interface protocols in use. For example

Hi to the programers writing this new PSBBS.
Please try to keep in mind that the people using the resulting program from
the other side, EI; the USERS, have to be able to understand the commands
when they log on. Why is it that the alternatives to FBB have such varrying
commands? Try digiing down the chain and fugure out the various BBS`s
encountered along the way, TSTHOST, JNOS, FBB. All have different commands,
is it a plot to keep the ordinary peasants confused? How about the
programmers using a set of commands common to the most widely used system,
if there is one, and not one that can only be understood by a programmer?
