Announcements: Feel free to post late breaking news on the message forum. Earlier this year, Tommy Watt took over as the primary Author of the BBS News. Tommy operates a BBS, and has been a member of the BBS community for 16 years. Mike Ehlert continues as supervising editor.
EleBBS

EleBBS version 0.09.g1 has been released. This new version contains the new scripting language for EleBBS, EleXer. EleXer allows scripts to be ran for both standard and web users using a familiar Pascal like language. The current betas of EleWEB, which where recently rewritten, also use EleXer. EleBBS/Linux has now been included in the gamma releases after over 2 years of development. EleBBS/Linux is currently in the same state as EleBBS/DOS. This means that all TCP/IP related routines (chat, newsgroups, etc) are currently not included. A beta to add this is planned to be released soon. Also, EleFILE HTMLLIST no longer supports Q-A scripts to generate HTML file listings. You will need to convert to EleXer. Many other features and bug fixes are included in this release.
