   The objectives of the OS2DOSBBS echo are:  
    
   1. To provide a forum in which messages pertaining to running a DOS  
      based BBS under OS/2 can be exchanged. It is for the technical  
      support of OS/2 and DOS BBS interaction, not OS/2 programs.  
    
   2. To provide technical support for newcomers to running a DOS based  
      BBS under OS/2.  
    
   The rules under which messages are to be exchanged in this echo are:  
    
   0. The preferred language is English, but this is not compulsory. Since  
      most of the participants will be fluent in English, any problem  
      reports will receive the widest scrutiny if they are written in  
      English.  
    
   1. Real names only. No pseudonyms, "handles", "monickers" or aliases.  
    
   2. Relevance to topic. Posts should pertain to installing, setting up  
      and operating a DOS based BBS specifically in the OS/2 environment.  
    
   3. Advertising. A maximum of 1 advertisement per month by the  
      author/publisher of software relevant to the topic of the echo will  
      be permitted. Other products must NOT be advertised.  
    
   4. No flaming or abusive language will be tolerated. Also, excessive  
      profanity is not permitted. Please remember the sensibilities of  
      others before you upload that QWK packet.  
    
   5. Let the moderator do the moderating. Do not reply to "test" messages  
      from BBSes that have just joined the echo. Do not reply to off-topic  
      messages or flames. These will all be dealt with by the moderator.  
    
   6. You may post uuencoded, xxencoded or base-64 encoded message only  
      with the PRIOR APPROVAL of the moderator. When asking for approval  
      please state the approximate size of the message, its content and  
      usefulness to the other participants of the echo.  
    
   7. The OS/2 platform is deemed to be:  
         Native OS/2, both text and PM;  
         Virtual DOS Machine (VDM & WIN-OS/2) session.  
    
      The only reason to discuss OS/2 programs in this echo will be if  
      those OS/2 programs provide features and capabilities specific to  
      running a DOS based BBS under OS/2.  
    
   8. High ASCII is permitted, except 'FF'X, but low ASCII (below '20'X)  
      is not permitted beyond the standard CR/LF/etc., characters.
