    The BBS or the storage format? I just fixed some of the code in D'Bridge for
    Sysop running Remoteaccess which still uses that format.

    The developer of QuickBBS has rewritten it as an opensource product far different from what it used to be.

    I wonder if he changed the format of the message bases... I hope not.

    Hello, Robert!

    Replying to a message of Robert Wolfe to Nick Andre:

    He changed EVERYTHING: https://github.com/bschollnick/QuickBBS

    That's because he lost the original source that he bought and decided to rewrite it from scratch.

    Later,

    The original author was Adam Hudson (hence the "Hudson Message Base").

    So when you refer to quickbbs you are more likely speaking about Hudson message bases?

    Yes.
