Editing RBBS-PC (section)

==History==
In 1982, Larry Jordan of the Capital PC Users Group started modifying some existing BBS software that had been [[porting|ported]] from [[CP/M]] by Russell Lane.<ref>[http://jordannctoal.homestead.com/RBBS-PChistory.html RBBS-PC History]</ref>  The first major release of this effort, RBBS-PC CPC09, in May 1983 was written in [[Interpreter (computing)|interpreted]] [[BASIC]] and included the [[XMODEM|Xmodem]] file transfer protocol added by Jordan.  In June 1983, Jordan turned over maintenance and enhancements to Tom Mack and Ken Goosens.  The first release under Mack, version 10.0, was released July 4, 1983.  New versions and features were released steadily throughout the rest of the 1980s.  The final complete version, 17.4, was released June 21, 1992.<ref name="rbbs17.4" />

Since version 17.4 at least four other code paths have developed.  Some work has been done to unify the code paths and to develop version 18.0. Dan Drinnons CDOR Mods and Mapleleaf versions were further enhanced by beta testers Mike Moore and Bob Manapeli using Ken Goosens LineBled program to manipulate the [[source code]] to endless variations of the program.
