WWIV Mac BBS 3.0 Readme

WWIV Mac BBS 3.0 ReadMe file - T R Teague - 29 April 1988 ========================================================= This file is a plain text file briefly describing WWIV Mac BBS 3.0, such that you can decide whether you wish to spend time downloading the rest of this package for use. * WWIV Mac BBS 3.0 is a bulletin board system (BBS) for the Apple Macintosh line of computers. It is based on a system developed for the IBM PC (Copyright (c) 1986 Wayne Bell). * It supports 300/1200/2400 baud, D.C. Hayes 100% compatible modems and higher speed modems at 9600 and 19,200 baud (and other rates can be supported) - the U.S. Robotics Courier HST 9600 baud modem (which is Hayes compatible except at 9600 baud), and the Telebit Traliblazer 19200 baud modem (which is Hayes compatible except at 9600, 19200 baud) are examples of these high speed modems (there are no standards currently set for 9600 and 19200 baud modems - one manufacturer's modem may not be compatible with another at these higher speeds). Note the old Apple 1200 modem is not Hayes compatible. * It requires a minimum of 512K of RAM memory to operate (it runs on all members of the Macintosh family), and a hard disk is recommended. It is compatible with Switcher, MultiFinder, AppleShare, RAMDisks etc. * The software is sold on a Shareware basis, and you are requested to send the author a donation of $30 or more to the address below, if you decide to use the program. * The software may be freely distributed as long as the software is distributed complete and unmodified, and no fee is charged for distribution, other than any normal fee necessary for on-line charges, or duplication of diskettes.
