Introduction |

|
============ |

|
|
| 21 |
|
This software (named as LBBS) aims to provide a telnet-based interface for |
| 22 |
|
a pure web-based BBS (named as LeafOK BBS). |
| 23 |
|
LeafOK BBS is a powerful BBS system, not only providing almost every function |
| 24 |
|
that a standard BBS should have, but also providing many features other BBS hasn't |
| 25 |
|
complemented yet. |
| 26 |
|
As an open source project, LeafOK BBS use MySQL as its major data depository, |
| 27 |
|
and PHP as its developing language. With MySQL and PHP, LeafOK BBS becomes a |
| 28 |
|
platform-independent system. It can works stably on many popular Web Servers |
| 29 |
|
such as Apache and IIS. |
| 30 |
|
However, as a pure web-based BBS, its shortage is inevitable. For LeafOK BBS |
| 31 |
|
uses Browser/Server as its architecture, it will cause more data traffic between |
| 32 |
|
Users and Server than telnet-based BBS, and its response is a little slower than |
| 33 |
|
telnet-based BBS. |
| 34 |
|
In order to reduce these shortage, a new project was launched. LBBS is a |
| 35 |
|
telnet-based BBS which is full compatible with LeafOK BBS. It also uses MySQL as |
| 36 |
|
its data repository, and keep coherence with the data structure of LeafOK BBS. |
| 37 |
|
LBBS is designed to be a system running on Linux, with GNU C as its developing |
| 38 |
|
language. For my spare time is very limit, I decide not to make LBBS as a |
| 39 |
|
cross-platform system temporarily. If you have interest in developing this system, |
| 40 |
|
please contact me. |
| 41 |
|
Thank you for using this GUN open source software. If you meet any bugs or have |
| 42 |
|
some suggestion, please email me. |
