A reconstruction of a historic Forth BBS system. Not much else is known about it at this time. File timestamps and log comments seem to hint that the BBS was used around 1985 and ran on DOS (which DOS?).
- Get it to run on modern hardware, an emulator or restored hardware that is period correct
- Document its history
- Get it online so that it can be used again by enthusiasts (probably via TCP or WebSocket proxy since I don't have a phone line)

We're not sure yet.screens/The original screen files split and formatted in a way that can be easily viewed on modern systems.
