His reply to me on this matter...
==========================================================

Hi Greg, This would be a simple problem to solve with any BBS software with
the exception of TBBS. TBBS is written in its own language which is a variant
of DBII and any program that is written to run with TBBS must be written in
this language.  There are loads of mailing programs written for the other
BBS's but they will not work with TBBS.  There were only three BBS's in
Adelaide running TBBS.  CG and myself are the only two surviving.  The
previous one closed - I think it was run by a Mr. Smith - he got rid of all
his hardware and software.  Somebody set up the CG board for David.  I might
visit him and find out who he got to do it, as there is somebidy in Adelaide
that understands this system.

The mail handler I have is called FLAME to run with TBBS and it has
instructions for sending email through a hub.  I have to write a route file
which is really a look up list that contains each node number you want
rediverted to another node number.  I was hoping it would take wildcards
otherwise I would have to write every node number in that needs redirecting
and that would run into thousands and it only takes 256. So you could ask your
friend if he is familliar with TBBS, FLAME and the route command.  If not I'm
afraid he would be 'well meaning' but of no help.

Thanks, Brian
