the old d&d bbs software, wow, yeah i remember actually connecting to one a while back.

PDS basic is actually pretty straight forward and easier to read/understand than alot of other large scale basic projects.

we did a text adventure game in dark basic in 1995 and switched over to PDS for version 2.0
