Pyffle BBS - Waffle for the New American Century
====================================
Pyffle was created as a tribute to the coolest BBS software ever in
existence, Waffle<. Unfortunately the only version floating around
nowadays is a binary-only copy of version 1.65 for DOS from 1993 or so
(which I do run on B4BBS, http://sampsa.com/b4bbs, through DOSBOX,
with UUCP and everything) as the Unix sources have gone missing - this
prompted the creation of Pyffle, the Python re-implementation of
Waffle for Unix.
You can test drive it by telnetting to hq.pyffle.com
I've also built a ready-to-run VMWare VM for running Pyffle without
all the annoying hassle of setting up Postgres and stuff yourself.
See http://www.uuhec.net/pyffle-bbs/pyffle-turnkey-vmware-appliance/
for details on downloading and setting the VM up.
