Ace-Line v3.5

By

Gilligan

Introduction:

In the grand tradition of minimalist BBS programs; the prototype FTP server, it did not get much more minimal than Ace-Line. How anyone could have gotten 3.5 versions out of this I have no Earthly idea.

The nice startup screen

While certainly inspired by the likes of 6480, it is obvious that this is its own program, which is some credit to Mr. Gilligan.

The Waiting for Call screen allows the sysop to navigate to necessary areas.

Everything you needed to configure was here on the waiting for call screen

And, of course, the short but sweet menu
