  • BBBS User utility?

    From Jeff Smith@1:282/1031 to All on Sat May 4 18:50:04 2019
    Hello There,

    Anyone know of a script or utility that can read the bbbsuser.dat file and extract the bbs user data? Either for manipulation or for extraction to a text
    file.

    Hello There,

    Anyone know of a script or utility that can read the bbbsuser.dat file and
    extract the bbs user data? Either for manipulation or for extraction to a tex
    file.

    I have a 32 bit Windows tool (made for me back in 1997) that can do that. It reads the BBBS userdatabase and can list a lot of data, also export the full or
    partly the database file to txt format. It works on any Windows system, (tested
    it just before I wrote this message on my Win 10 system). If you are interested
    let me know.

    It's on my system (or I can email it to you):

    bbbsedit.zip 991204 191k 2 BBBS user editor v1.8 for win95/NT
    GUI BBBS user editor, with lots of
    features.

    Do we know the file format of this file? I might have to write one for the OS/2 version of BBBS :)

    That would be appreciated. I can install Wine which will allow Windows apps to run on Linux. The email here is [email protected].

    Again thanks.
