BBS Ads was a simple series of programs that advertised bulletin board systems (BBSes) via a Win16 program. Customization for different BBSes was achieved by modifying stringtable and bitmap resources in a Windows resource editor; no recompilation from the source code was necessary. The stringtables stored the name of the BBS as well as the sysop names, cosysop names, and telephone numbers. Optionally, a wave sound file can be included as a resource and will automatically play on the program's startup.
Please do not call any of the phone numbers listed in the ads as they no longer serve BBSes.
