PCBoard for OS/2 is the industry's first full-featured BBS software for OS/2. It includes powerful features such as Sysop Utilities Internet Mail & Usenet News, Fido Mailer & Tosser, QWK Mail, Credit Accounting, the PCBoard Programming Language, and all of the other features available with PCBoard for DOS plus several features unique to the OS/2 version such as the PCBoard Control Panel.
The PCBoard Control Panel has several unique and powerful new capabilities not available with any other BBS software. The new "Run on Connect" feature allows the Control Panel to create additional BBS nodes as necessary to handle unusually high numbers of simultaneous callers. It also includes a Watchdog capability that detects any hung nodes, even when in an external file transfer protocol or a DOOR, and terminates that session then restarts the node automatically.
PCBoard for OS/2 is a 32-bit, multi-threaded, native OS/2 program. As such, it takes advantage of all the benefits that OS/2 has to offer. The end result is a BBS that runs more nodes, faster, and with less memory than previously possible.
