I can confirm the area is active. There is one BBS in net 153 running PCBoard and probably any number of others too.

OK, thanks. :)

The 'New' group has a site setup on github, with the source. I'd LOVE to be able to compile it in linux! I wish I was a programmer. I am gonna see if I can play around with it though

Interesting... Is there some specific page/place on FB that you
are seeing "a lot of activity" regarding PCB? The couple of PCB
pages that I can see on FB are apparently not the right ones.

Yes this echo is still active but there are very few messages here.

Where can I find the Facebook group? I have been running PCBoard since
v.14 up to v15.4 Beta. Since v15.2 under OS/2.


Have a nice day,

This echo is active, but quite slow.

What FB page(s) are you seeing a lot of activity about PCB on? The couple of FB pages I can find for PCB are nearly dead. Would like to visit an active one... Can you provide the specific name of the page? Thanks!

Hi Charles,

Yes PCBoard v16 is being worked on by Ozz Nixon. It is being written in
Modern Pascal which is 16/32/64bit compatible. This is an open source
project. I will be hosting the first alpha/beta test board. Much will be changed, much will be added. At the moment, the project needs a
document writer to assemble the beginings of a manual. No easy task!
Anyone versed in PCB with good language skill please reply. I will post
the progress of this project in this echo once an alpha version is up
and running. A timeline is yet TBD.

Cheers!

Nice! I'm not a PC Board SysOp (I did run it for a short time
years ago) I liked it! When I went to OS/2 I wanted a OS/2 native
BBS, so I gave up on it. Wondering, will there be a Linux version
in the future? Regards,

Charles, this message along with a couple of dozen others, is a
month old and was sent out by your BBS for reasons unknown...

But to answer your questions, PCB was always available in an OS/2
version, as far as I remember. I ran the DOS version many years
ago. This new rewrite/clone that is going on will be available
for Linux. There is an active Facebook page for it if you want to
have a look there.

I started using PCboard with v14 under DOS/Desqview and continued
uppgarding it through the years. Then came v15.2 with support directly
under OS/2.

I did switced immedetely to running under OS/2. What a relief and still
going strong. I only wish I could install it on modern machines.

That is possible now with eCS and Arca OS but my wallet is too thin and
with the "demise" of Fidonet echo- and netmail I hesitate that upgrade.

I'm a member of that Facebook group, I've been following the progress. Looks like it's coming along nice! I tried to run PCB/2 but my system didn't have enough juice to do what I wanted it to do. I DID like it a lot. If I had the money at the time, I would have upgraded my PC just TO run it! (I was in HS, had a part-time job).

RaspPi.

Sorry for the delay on replying - been in the process of moving from
Virginia to Florida - still have hundreds of boxes to unpack...
however, I am back-online (communications wise).

Right now:
PCBoard v16 Pre-Alpha Experience (PAE) is running in Arizona on a Linux
server inside GoDaddy.
As soon as I can automate my dynamic IP with my DNS service - I will
spin up another PAE site here in my office on Mac OSX.... and at home
on a RapsPi Rev2.

Next will be to build a git script to synchronize all these systems
nightly. ;-)
