A BBS server from the days of yore, written entirely in HyperCard.

HyperBBS should work with any Hayes-compatible modem. It's been tried with a Hayes 1200 and an Apple Personal.

MD5 checksum & filename: a2220b0667e869a16f71ac6f613066f7 *HyperBBS-1.sit

Compatibility:

Requires:
HyperCard 1.2.5 - has errors if using HyperCard 2.x
Mac Plus or newer
Any Hayes-compatible modem, 300 baud or faster.

HyperBBS Issues (from Sysop Help Stack):

   • You can't see the message you're replying to as you write the reply.
   • There's no chat mode to talk to callers.
   • It supports MacBinary I but not II.
   • It doesn't support Kermit, YModem, or any other non-XModem protocols.
   • There's no way for the user to change his password or other UserList information.
   • There's no facility for the user to edit messages once they've been entered.
   • Messages can only be listed in full; would be nice to list just subjects.

PackIt was considered the standard compression/archive format prior to the release of Compact Pro and StuffIt. While it is extremely rare to see any .pit files around these days, you never know when you might run into them.

The included disk image contains PackIt 1.0, Unpit 0.1, and PackIt III 1.3, the latter of which included DES encryption. Unpit was written by Thomas D. Newton in 1986.
