Appreciate that kind words. I have decided to go in a different direction now with the BBS on a Stick project. I am in GitHub lingo forking it off of the main fork, future versions including the current one will have slight changes made to the main files of modifications I have made to the main files, they WILL NOT be base Image released files, but files I have changed some things in. Currently the version that you just put online have 2 modifications made to them, 1 is how the new BBS configuration is set up, In the main fork after entering drive assignments etc. It creates all of the e. files then asks you which modem you are using then continues the boot process. My new fork now has the modem choice done with the rest of the config questions, and THEN creates the e. files and continues to boot.

2nd change is in the NM/config file and the IM file, the creation of nm.origin is no longer a separate file but now part of the files I just listed, thus making it seamless when configuring a new BBS on the network.

In the next incarnation of the Stick project, I may include the pfiles from my first Pfile disk, not the mods but the files already configured and ready to go on a new BBS.

The forking of my files is my way of showcasing the mods I have done for Image. If someone is interested in just the plain files, they can download the release files and create a BBS. If someone wants a fully done slightly modified version with some mods that I consider helpful to a new sysOp then the Stick project is the way to go. 

Upon request I have a CMD HD version available, all the prospective SysOp needs to do is get the ROMS, and toss the .DHD file on their drive.

New Update: Since we are close to the end of the year, and more than likely X-Tec will have a fix pack released (if there are any fixes this year made to the main files) I will be releasing an update with any fixes he has available. I will also be changing how the Stick project will be handled moving forward. I will be making it email-ware, so in other words all I ask is if you download the Stick project and put it online, please email me your FQDN, and Name of the BBS as I would like to try to keep track of who is running the stick project so IF there is an issue and a needed fix goes out (due to something I did) I will email all Stick BBS' and let them know there is a fix out there. In addition to that function, I will be creating a BBS Listing which I will put on my website every time a new BBS joins the ranks of running the Stick project. There is also another feature I will be implementing but I am not going to go into that right now as it is not finalized yet. I am looking at making some real changes to the Stick project over the coming months. At first mostly cosmetic, then under the hood stuff.  So keep an eye here and on my website www.wrgnbr.com and keep up with the future...
