What is Waffle ?
Waffle is a USENET-compatible BBS system which supports UUCP mail, UUCP, and USENET news. In addition, there is a built-in editor, file upload/download, and the ability to hook in external programs and gateway to (or from) other packages. DOS Waffle supports (but does not require) external Fossil drivers to allow use of high speed modems and allows an MSDOS PC to be a fully RFC compliant USENET node. It also provides the UUCP-based transport mechanism that generally comes with unix systems. Unix Waffle provides just the BBS functionality and requires the ‘traditional’ unix communications, mail, and USENET news software for those functions. See /waffle/docs/readme, unix.doc, and dos.doc for more details. 2. What operating systems does it run on ? IBM-PCs and compatibles running MSDOS (which includes MS-Windows, DR-DOS, Novell DOS, and OS/2 if you have enough memory). Many variants of unix. In particular, configuration options are already in place for: NeXT, BSD 4.2/4.3, A/UX, SUN, LINUX
