  • SBBS System Files?

    From Jeff Smith@VERT to All on Fri Aug 9 22:01:26 2019
    Hello There,

    A question. As I haven't bothered with Windows versions of FTN software in some
    years. Are the current 3.17b SBBS system files independent of the OS in use?

    As in could a Linux SBBS installation be moved to a Windows 32b or 64b system? Assuming that Synchronet has already been installed on the Windows PC.

    Thanks Dan. I have on occasion been told that I act like a child so that might make it easier. :)
