HO> There is a program called Febbs for Dos and OS/2   it works great
 HO> Have a look at that.
Agreed!  I've been a registered FEBBS user for ages, though the program is
getting a little long in the tooth.
I've written the author frequently about him updating it, but in the past 6
months, I've not gotten replies. (Nor returned emails, so...)
It would be great if someone would completely clone it, with all features
that it has now, and enhancements like 3.x compatibility and ability to
handle Max's 1024 char limit on descriptions.  I'd use that in a heartbeat.
Seems everyone wants to write things we already have 5 versions of, but no
one is trying to write the one thing that's sorely missing, and that's
something exactly like FEBBS.  :-(
