The Major BBS (later renamed Worldgroup in 1995) was developed by Tim Stryker and launched in 1986 by Stryker's company Galacticomm, as a demonstration of the abilities of the Galacticomm Software Breakthrough Library (or GSBL). The GSBL was a powerful set of assembler routines written for IBM and compatible PCs that allowed up to 32 simultaneous connections to a single software instance without the need for an external multitasker. It was licensed to developers for varied uses, such as communications systems, bank systems, real estate systems, etc. Eventually, The Major BBS was enhanced enough that it became a saleable product in its own right. By late 1987, Galacticomm was licensing more copies of The Major BBS than the GSBL by itself. The GSBL continued to be enhanced, expanding to 64 users by 1988, then 256 by 1992.

Included:

The Major BBS v6.25 software, WorldGroup v1.0 software with 2-user upgrade and multimedia extensions, two GalactiBoards, i.e., two serial cards, each with an eight-way serial cable.
