                               For Windows 95/98

Osiris is a 32bit WIN9x multiuser, threaded, console application. 
It will currently NOT run under NT or Win2000.
	
Osiris supports up to 8 nodes running concurrently. 
It includes POP3, NNTP, SMTP and telnet (via COM/IP) internet support,
and supports ANSI, RIP, and MAX GRaphic interfaces.
	
The first WIN95 version of Osiris was a GUI application.  I simply was not pleased with
the speed nor the amount of memory the GUI application used so I rewrote the program from
the ground up using a CONSOLE interface. For some reason, Windows seem to run the program
a LOT faster and the CONSOLE interface used a LOT less memory. 


As of this version, Osiris BBS is now freeware. The bad news is that I will no longer
be supporting it, or developing it. Please do not ask me for the source code, as I
will not be making it available to anyone ever.


Once you have installed Osiris, please refer to the \Documentation directory
for instructions on how to configure it. You will need Microsoft Word 6.0 or
later to read the .doc files.
