This BBS is run by Pete Norloff, to provide quality messaging and file
services for OS/2 users and developers. This BBS is strictly for
shareware, freeware, and public-domain files.
We have a very open policy here. You will be granted full access rights
on your first call. Please consider yourself a guest in our home and
conduct yourself accordingly. We will continue to run the BBS in this
open fashion for as long as new users continue to treat our system with
respect. Users logging on with more than one name or with an alias will
be unceremoniously locked out.
Old accounts are aged-out, so if you have not logged on in the past 90
days you will have to re-register. Please enjoy your stay, and share
what you learn with others.
