Event details

This event began 01/27/2019 and repeats every year forever

RATSoft ST BBS is released on or around this day, January 27th, in 1992. An announcement in the March 21, 1992 issue of Z*Net International Atari Online Magazine (Issue #92-12) mentions three dates; January 27, 1992, March 6, 1992, and January 28, 1992 (written at the end of the announcement as o1/28/92). However, the copyright date mentioned in the announcement is 1991-1992. So, it was probably released in January 1992 or late (perhaps December) 1991. 

 

This software runs on an Atari ST, Atari STE, or Atari TT030 with at least 1 megabyte of RAM. The BBS retailed for $50.00 and came with many features including a powerful scripting language, the ability to run doors written for FoReM ST and ///Turbo Board BBSs, full color support in messages (e.g., VT-52 color, PC-ANSI color), and message base networking that would also work with a PC version of RATSoft that was planned for release at the end of 1992.
