Here are some of the more used utilities from The Forest BBS

Renegade v05-11 is the software that The Forest uses to run the BBS on. It is an excellent FREE bbs program and I highly recommend it to sysops just starting out as it is easy to configure and later on it can be modified quite well.

PKWare's PKZip v2.04g is an excellent software compressor, and is the most widely used compression program on the planet. I recommend all users grab this program.

UUEncode/Decode is a versitile program to convert binary files to text format for sending over the internet through Internet EMail. A great program to pick up, makes sending files through email easier than ever. (only drawback, end user must have uudecode[included in package]).

OneFos v0.8 is a wonderful fossil driver for BBS's. I totally recommend using this fossil driver for all systems. It is by far the best fossil for Win95 systems attempting to use DOS BBS software. It is what The Forest BBS uses and has never had a problem. Locks at speeds from 300 to 115200.
