MCSNet has decided to release the AKCS BBS system in source form for
anonymous FTP.

You can pick it up from the anonymous ftp server "ftp.mcs.net" in the
directory "~/AKCS".

It is composed of a compressed tar file which expands into SCCS controlled
directories and the appropriate build scripts and Makefiles.  A base
set of configuration directories and control files is provided.  This is
the same distribution that used to be sold only under commercial license.

Note that the package is still copyrighted, but can be distributed as a
tar file unchanged and used freely on systems for which there is no 
exchange of money (ie: free bbs systems, etc).  The full copyright 
statement is in the FTP area as well as in the archive itself.

Commercial use still requires a license, which is available on
reasonable terms.  Manuals are available from us for a reasonable
cost, or hack your way through (its not very hard to set up).

It is known to run on most SV derived Unix-flavor machines, as well as
SunOS 4.1.x.  The code is somewhat crusty, in that much of it dates from
1987 (particularly the parser which BADLY needs a re-write!) but it does
work quite well.

For more info see the FTP archive or send email to me at MCSNet.

Enjoy!
