TBI-00, the 8BS catalogue/info/utility
disc is available as ADFS or DFS.
Submissions have been so huge this time
that I have decided to make this a one
off double disc issue for DFS users.
ADFS users will find that everything is
on the one disc, so don't panic! If you
have't got disc 2, send a DFS formatted
disc with return postage and ask for
8BS-46-2. Most of the messages are on
this disc 1. Only one, mixed message
file is on disc two.
