Introduction
|
| 18 |
============
|
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
This software (named as LBBS) aims to providing a telnet-based interface for
|
| 21 |
a pure web-based BBS (named as LeafOK BBS).
|
| 22 |
LeafOK BBS is a powerful BBS system, not only providing almost every function
|
| 23 |
that a standard BBS should have, but also giving many features other BBS hasn't
|
| 24 |
complemented yet.
|
| 25 |
As an open source project, LeafOK BBS use MySQL as its major data depository,
|
| 26 |
and PHP as its developing language. With MySQL and PHP, LeafOK BBS becomes a
|
| 27 |
platform-independent system. It can works stably on many popular Web Servers
|
| 28 |
such as Apache and IIS.
|
| 29 |
However, as a pure web-based BBS, its shortage is inevitable. For LeafOK BBS
|
| 30 |
uses Browser/Server as its architecture, it will cause more data traffic between
|
| 31 |
Users and Server than telnet-based BBS, and its response is a little slower than
|
| 32 |
telnet-based BBS.
|
| 33 |
In order to conquer these shortage, a new project was launched. LBBS is a
|
| 34 |
telnet-based BBS which is full compatible with LeafOK BBS. It also uses MySQL as
|
| 35 |
its data repository, and keep coherence with the data structure of LeafOK BBS.
|
| 36 |
LBBS is designed to be a system running on Linux, with GNU C as its developing
|
| 37 |
language. For my spare time is very limit, I decide not to make LBBS as a
|
| 38 |
cross-platform system temporarily. If you have interest in developing this system,
|
| 39 |
please contact me.
|
| 40 |
Thank you for using this software. If you meet any bugs or have any suggestion,
|
| 41 |
please tell me.
