21 THE INNKEEPER STOOD BEHIND THE BAR OBSERVING WHAT FEW CLIENTS THAT PREVADED
22 THE INN, WIPING SLOWLY AT A NONEXISTANT SPOT ON THE GLASS HE HELD. THEN
23 HE HEARD THE OLD OAKEN DOOR AT THE ENTRANCE CREAK OPEN. LOOKING UP HE SAW
24 THAT IT WAS PAM WHO HAD ENTERED! THE GLASS SLIPPED UNNOTICED FROM HIS SLACK
25 HAND AND CRASHED TO THE FLOOR. DUMBFOUNDED HE STOOD WITH HIS LOWER JAW
26 SLACK, AN EXCELANT HOME FOR FLIES. FINALLY HE REGAINS A DEGREE OF COMPOSURE
27 AND CRUNCHING OVER THE BROKEN GLASS STEPS OUT FROM BEHIND THE BAR TO
28 PROPERLY GREET PAM. GRASPING HER HAND AND PUMPING IT FURIOUSLY HE EXCLAIMED;
29 "WELCOME HOME MY FRIEND!"

68 Well, it's for real... KAMASBBS is on the air. For those of you who tried
69 it recently we've already got rid of a couple of bugs. Also, we've added
70 a KAMASBBS User's Guide. After you give your name and password--anything
71 will do; no security is checked, you can follow the instructions on show-
72 ing the User's Guide to learn how to use this new kind of BBS. It's a
73 BBS that allows messages to be organized in a tree structure. The terms
74 used in KAMAS can be confusing if you haven't heard about the tree analogy.
75 Anyway, be patient...give it a try...let us know what you think. It's
76 experimental--we'er ironing out the bugs.
77
78 In KAMAS, all the messages are kept in structured text files call topics.
79 Each topic can be thought of as a tree of text. The basic unit of text
80 is called the stem. Stems consist of a title and a leaf. The leaf is
81 just straight linear text (up to 2420 chars). The title is in turn
82 made up of a key and a subtitle. When you insert new messages to grow
83 the topic tree, you are prompted for each of these elements. The key
84 must be less than 31 characters; the leaf entry is terminated by two
85 RETURNS in a row. Don't type Control-C, like here, it will abort your
86 entry and you'll have to reenter. The keys are for later rapid retrieval.
87 Pick descriptive ones. As we've currently got it set up there are
88 two topics available: BBSMESSAGES and CONFERENCES. When you first get on
89 KAMASBBS you'll find yourself in the BBSMESSAGES topic. We've started
90 a few common sense branches in it.
91
92 Sooo, for a new kind of BBS adventure: Try KAMASBBS at 227-xxxx after
93 6PM in the evenings mostly. Sponsored by Chuck Hughes and Adam Trent.
