Welcome to C*BASE v3.0! This program is the culmination of many years of work and effort not only from the author but from all the people that have supported C*BASE over the years. From modifying other BBS programs a long time ago, to 1.0s release many years ago, to 2.0s creation last year, and to 3.0s release in 1991, C*BASE has always progressed at a steady and fast pace! And now this is a result of that work.

Before getting into setting up the system, a few things should be said. First as stated earlier, read the documentation thoroughly! The documentation was not written so that it could be haphazardly skimmed. A good sysop always wants to understand what he is running anyway so please READ THIS DOCUMENTATION.
