DESCRIPTION

Overview:

Citadel is a multi-platform BBS program.  There is support for the IBM,
Atari, and Amiga platforms.  This announcement concerns the Amiga version
of Citadel, Citadel 68K.  It is a room based BBS program with many features
not found in even the best commercial bbs programs.  It is 100% free and
sources are available.

A Room based BBS has rooms instead of message conferences.  The users carry
on conversations in the room.  A room is very much like a thread in other
BBS programs, it has a subject and messages related to the subject.

Citadel allows the many options.  The Sysop can configure what privileges a
user has, what characteristics a room has, and even what text will be used
for most messages.  It is flexible and since it is multi-platform, it is
networking compatible with the other Citadel platforms.

If your planing of starting a BBS, Citadel is the perfect way!  It can be
setup with virtually no cost!

NEW FEATURES

This version has several bug fixes, see the update file in the archive.  
There are some new utilities to make it easier to do long distance
networking via internet email using Danny Wong's AirMail utility.

SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS

A Citadel 68K has been configured and ran from a system as small as a 512K
A500 with 2 floppies.  Obviously, this limits what optional features that
are available.  The recommended configuration is 2 MB memory or more plus
20 MB HD space.  Citadel requires 8192 of stack space.

The Citadel BBS package has many optional features.  These are packaged as
separate archives.  You many want to get all these packages.
