so, i’m beginnning to program a bbs into existance.

the first step will be to build a message editor, it already reads a config file on startup, and can read characters from the keyboard. i have a placeholder for reading characters from the modem, and writing to it.

i can append lines to the document, next up will be word wrap.

for this step, all i can use are the c64 programming books that i have. once the bbs is running, i will allow myself to use some online resources, but i will be simulating geographic restrictions.

to “unlock” global content i will have to expand the bbs to be multi-node.

and binaries.. yeah i’ll need to write a file transfer program.

but that is waaaay down the track.

so, yeah
