Hello Stephen,

22 Apr 25 10:21, you wrote to me:

 DP>>>> why is the filename not 8.3 long ? :)

 SW>>> Zeus BBS is for the Amiga computers, and they don't have a
 SW>>> stupid 8.3 filename restriction. The Arexx script it's self is
 SW>>> zbbslister.zeus so even more way out from stupid DOS.

 DP>> oh wow, didn't know about that. bought an amiga 2 years ago but

thanks!

i don't bother with lcds, i'm using proper CRT monitors for my retro rigs :)

anyways my plan is to make an amiga bbs from this machine, but as i read on the
 net it is not powerful enough to run a bbs. is that true? do you have any
recommendation what should i get? i am a bit confused with all these different
types of rams as well.. :)
