I took my time today to rework some of the menus of #rc2014bbs (RC-BOX BBS - the world's first and probably only #rc2014 based #BBS system in the world) and do a little maintenance.

There's a new tool, "FOR", which will list all #files that have recently been #uploaded via #xmodem or #ymodem

There's now also a help file in the default user area, which you can view by entering TYPE HELP.TXT on the CP/M command line.

Up-/and downloads work, but not with modern terminal clients. Use your #8bit hardware and an appropriate #terminal program with #xmodem support to successfully upload files. I have successfully tested xmodem transfers using #StrikeTerm on a Commodore 64.

See my profile for information on how to connect to RC-BOX BBS (the address is listed there)

EDIT: the C64 terminal program I used for the screenshots is "X-Term!"

X-Term! for the Commodore 64. The program emulates 80 colum mode and is displaying the help file: light gray text on black background.The CP/M help screen text of RC-BOX BBS in its new design consisting of ASCII art boxes grouped by command type.The new "for" command listing a recently uploaded file.

OMG!! 800 #Fedizens following me now ... 😮​

Thank you all for following me here in the #Fediverse, you're just too kind!! 💙​

And things get even better, as I noticed today that there are now 101 messages in the "General" message base of the "RC-BOX" #BBS #rc2014bbs (see my profile on info how to connect) - thank you all for that as well! 💻​

So here's a little video showing off the current message list of "RC-BOX" BBS, while I was logged in a few minutes ago using my #Modular64 #Commodore64 and a #SwiftLink #WifiModem and the #StrikeTerm terminal software.
