Associated Software
In October 1983 CBSIM CB Simulator was released as the first publicly accessible CB Simulator software available for privately-operated Computer Bulletin Board Systems. The program was released as "freeware" as an add-on module (or "Door") for the popular RBBS-PC. It enabled users connected on one node of a Computer Bulletin Board System to "chat" with users dialed in on other nodes. Initially, CBSIM supported a maximum of 32 concurrent nodes (connected users), and allowed dynamic creation and cataloging of "channels" by the users of the Computer Bulletin Board System on which it was installed. The source code was released to the public from the inception of the CBSIM project, and this source code quickly became the foundation for multi-node chat systems embedded in other popular BBS software products.
