Client 9 is an effort to revive ISCABBS client development and bring forth some advanced new features which have never before been seen. We have taken the most recent work of IO ERROR, TOM, Ayourk, Wim Rumping, Serendipity and others, selecting carefully the features and code to be used, and combined it with our own efforts to create the most advanced ISCABBS client currently available.
Our work is still in progress; however, we invite you to sample our client from time to time. Our current release, numbered 0.05, is currently available. It builds our new features on top of the latest client from IO ERROR to create a compelling alternative.
Our new features include:
As this is a work in progress, we are currently offering only our source code for downloading. As the client matures, binary snapshots will be offered at various points.
Download Client 9 for Unix or VMS.
Please note that this is NOT yet for Windows 95! We have received reports of people downloading the Unix source code to their Windows 95 computer. To download this program under Unix, log in to your Unix account, and type the following:
lynx -source http://blackout.net/client9/client9.tar.gz > client9.tar.gz
If the above command does not work for you, seek help in the Client> forum. To compile the client, run these commands after you have downloaded it to your Unix account:
gzip -dc client9.tar.gz | tar -xvf -
cd client9
make
Information and documentation coming soon.
