The Advanced Video Attribute Terminal Assembler and Recreator AVATAR protocol is a system of escape sequence s occasionally used on Bulletin Board System s BBSes . It has largely the same functionality as the more popular ANSI escape code s, but has the advantage that the escape sequences are much shorter. AVATAR can thus render colored text and ASCII art artwork much faster over slow connections. The protocol is defined by FidoNet technical standard proposal FSC 0025. ref http www.ftsc.org docs fsc 0025.001 FSC 0025 AVATAR proposal at FidoNet Technical Standards Committee ref Avatar was later extended in late 1989 to AVT 0 ref http www.ftsc.org docs fsc 0037.001 FSC 0037 AVT 0 extensions ref sometimes referred to as AVT 0 which included facilities to scroll areas of the screen useful for split screen chat, or full screen mail writing programs , as well as more advanced pattern compression. Avatar was originally implemented in the Opus BBS, but later popularised by RemoteAccess . RemoteAccess came with a utility, AVTCONV that allowed for easy translation of ANSI documents into Avatar helping its adoption.

Wikify date February 2011 Image Roboboard.gif thumb right 400px RoboBOARD FX Graphical BBS Interface 1992 RoboBOARD FX was first introduced by Hamilton TeleGraphics Inc, written by the owner Seth Hamilton in 1992. At a time where BBS Software such as RemoteAccess were merely using ANSI art interfaces RoboBOARD started a revolution. It was the first fully graphical BBS system with iconic navigation, punchy bitmaps, and vector fonts, all at a time when ultra fast high speed modems were barely clocking 2400 bit s. RoboBOARD FX provided a familiar looking graphical user interface for DOS, complete with dragging windows, clicking buttons, scrollbars, pop up dialogue boxes and templates. In this GUI environment RoboBOARD FX supported graphics modes of up to 1024 x 768 in 16 256 SVGA color. One of the biggest improvements RoboBOARD FX brought into the BBS world was it built in photographic capabilities, which allowed a BBS to display images to its users in real time, without requiring a pre download.

SPITFIRE BBS is a DOS based Bulletin Board System written by Mike Woltz, published by his company Buffalo Creek Software of West Des Moines, Iowa. SPITFIRE was written in Turbo Pascal with Assembly Language routines. It was released in 1987 under the Shareware concept and had a moderate sized fanbase, only outnumbered by products such as RemoteAccess , TriBBS , PCBoard , Major BBS , and Wildcat BBS . It was possible to run multiple nodes of SPITFIRE under Microsoft Windows and OS 2 although, most SysOp s preferred to use Quarterdeck s DESQview for this purpose. SPITFIRE interfaced with message relaying systems such as FidoNet through 3rd party utilities such as SHILOH, a QWK networking interfacing program, and BCSUTI, a Postlink style networking interface. SPITFIRE s most successful release Version 3.2 came in 1992, just before the World Wide Web exploded on the scene. By 1994, many SysOps began converting from running BBSes to becoming Internet Service Provider s. Mr. Woltz was greatly admired by loyal SysOps, but was known for being somewhat stubborn. Due to his unwillingness to add Internet connectivity to the software, SPITFIRE s usage dwindled significantly throughout the United States. It was and is still used throughout the world, particularly in countries where high speed Internet access is unavailable or banned. However, due to advances in technology, SPITFIRE can be run as a telnet BBS by using a virtual FOSSIL driver and TELNET telnet engine SIO VMODEM under OS 2 , NetFoss , NetSerial or NetModem under Microsoft Windows Windows . SPITFIRE version 3.6 was updated in 1999 for Y2K compliance. Current release is SPITFIRE 3.7 as of 1 January 2010 which is still supported by Buffalo Creek Software today.

Terminate terminat.exe was a shareware modem Terminal emulator terminal and Bulletin board system host program for MS DOS and compatible operating systems developed from the early to the late 1990s by the Denmark Dane Bo Bendtsen. The last release 5.00 was made in 1997 no details are available for the first fact date March 2012 , but the T Cfg program which performed config upgrades from 1.0 to 1.1 is dated 1994 fact date March 2012 , so it seems reasonable to assume vague date March 2012 1.0 was not that much earlier. Compared to similar programs of its time, Terminate had a large number of built in features like a powerful contact list phone book with long distance calling cost calculation, FidoNet Fido Mailer , QWK file format QWK offline mail reader , Orthodox file manager file manager , text editor, keyboard mapping, ISDN support http www.blkbox.com bgfax echo MSG 1286.HTM , fax and voice call features, chat, IEMSI , VGA mode detection, audio CD player, and a REXX like scripting language. Supported terminal emulation modes included ASCII , Advanced Video Attribute Terminal Assembler and Recreator Avatar , ANSI escape code ANSI , Remote imaging protocol RIP , VT100 VT102 , and others. A number of file transfer protocols like Zmodem were built into the application, along with support for external protocols like HS Link and BiModem . The built in support for advanced file transfer protocols made Terminate very popular at the time. The installation program could import the phone book and settings from other applications like Telix , RemoteAccess , Frontdoor , BinkleyTerm , Portal of Power , as well as indirectly Minicom and Commo Terminal Emulator Commo .
