   Thank you again but please do not stress yourself out trying to get it done   
   ASAP.  I am planning to look into PETSCII for A48 and at this point A47 is   
   probably 1-2 weeks away, so it'd be a couple weeks before I'd even begin to   
   look at it.  There is no rush but at your leisure I would love the help!   
      
   One question I do have regarding C64 BBSes is: Do they usually store art in a   
   file in a similar way to a PC BBS would store its art in an .ANS file?  I have   
   called into C64 BBSes back in the day but I have never actually seen a BBS from   
   the SysOp side on a C64 so I am curious if they are similar to traditional PC   
   BBSes?   
      
   I'd love to check out Image BBS that you mention (or any others that you   
   recommend looking at) on the C64 emulator too if its possible!  I've always   
   been facinated by BBS stuff and the C64 is one of the platforms I haven't   
   worked with in terms of BBS software.  Kind of odd too considering my first   
   computer was a Commodore 128 (wish I still had it!)!
