I have set-up software at my home system that will now process BBS
lists in the following format:

  %n	Name of system
  %t    Telephone number (1-234-567-8901 format)
  %c	Contact person (Sysop)
  %s	Software
  %r	Remarks (as may %r lines as necessary, limited to 50-column
  %r	lines)
  %k	Keywords (rollplaying games files, etc.)
  %u	Updated (format: 061473 carlb@u.washington.edu would list
	this submission as June 14, 1973 by carlb@u.washingtion.edu)

The fields are self-explainitory for the most part.  Note that only
%r fields may use more than one line, and %u is included so that my
site will automatically check sites after xx time has passed.

Anyone willing to submit some systems?  I am doing this to test my
software and promote an easy way to get BBS lsts via e-mail that can
be set for a certain prefix, area code, keywords, software, etc.  You
get the idea.  Submissions sould be sent to "carlb@u.washington.edu"
from where I shal send them to my home computer.

Comments and feedback are also welcome.  I will have a number of 
systems from my local ara (Seattle) on this list within a few days,
but I`m still going to need more.  This will be onlne for two months,
if the usage is less than expected, then this service will be dropped.
