URIT BBS is a modern reimplementation inspired by **T.A.G.-BBS v1.03**,
|
|
originally written by **Patrick E. Hughes** in 1986-87 for the Commodore Amiga.
|
|
|
|
The original T.A.G.-BBS was a single-user, dial-up bulletin board system that
|
|
ran on AmigaOS, communicating with callers over a serial modem connection. It
|
|
featured message boards, private mail, file libraries, bulletins, and an
|
|
integrated line editor — all in roughly 6,000 lines of C.
|
|
|
|
URIT BBS carries the spirit of that software forward into the modern era,
|
|
replacing the Amiga serial port with TCP/IP (telnet and SSH), flat binary data
|
|
files with SQLite, and the single-caller limitation with multi-user support.

## Special Thanks
|
|
|
|
- **Patrick E. Hughes** — Original author of T.A.G.-BBS. The clean architecture
|
|
of the original code, particularly its clear separation between I/O and
|
|
application logic, made this reimplementation possible and informed much of
|
|
URIT's design.
|
|
|
|
- All the sysops, users, and developers who built and sustained the BBS
|
|
community through the dial-up era and continue to keep it alive today.
