On this day, September 2nd, in 1985, FoReM XE BBS software is released. FoReM XE, developed by Matthew Singer, is an Atari 8-bit BBS written in the BASIC XE programming language. Previous versions of FoReM were written in BASIC XL and Atari Basic (see the Atari Frequently Asked Questions by Michael Current for a list of versions). FoReM XE is in the public domain. One of its noteworthy features is its ability to import and export messages from BBS Express Pro! systems.

Just a reminder for the Atari BBS community zoom chat for Sunday, September 1st 2024 at 3pm Eastern.
For more information and the proposed agenda, go to http://www.ataribbs.com/zoomchat
This is also the link to the zoom meeting itself (it will automatically forward from 15 minutes before until four hours after the meeting starts).
At the last meeting we introduced a slight change in the format. Going forward, we will reserve the first few hours for Atari/Tech/non-controversial discussion. After that, it's game on as we've always done. This is to accommodate those who are new in joining us who may have no interest in such non-Atari things while still being true to being a "group of friends" enjoying a safe space to discuss things that might be taboo in other venues. There won't necessarily be a strict "time limit" but we will essentially announce that "the smoking lamp is lit". Until that time we'll do our best to limit the topics to our shared love of Atari and retro computing.
As you well know, the agenda is always subject to change and the whims of whoever actually attends, but what is planned is...
The Pre-VCF Midwest Planning Call! What we have so far for VCFMW - Table locations and demo plans. Project(s) Status(es) (If you're working on something, share it with us!) Beyond that, it might be a shorter call since I have lots to still do before VCF Midwest We will be scheduling a call from VCFMW... be on the lookout! And whatever else we find ourselves discussing! Hope to see you there!
