Anyway, I have a few questions: Are there any copyright issues with using some of pressf1's code? I was going to use pressf1's base code and 'improve' it for my use. Is this legal? Files - I have downloaded pcwpressf1.nsf, but are there any more files? The code seems to indicate that it is self-contained. And what about pcwpressf1.nsf/main!openform??? Will I get many hits? F2 is generally not the key you press for help...but maybe I could use the forum for sumething else?	Guest (0)

If ya look on the net there are a lot of sites on how to do bulletin board sites. tweak'e had mentioned in an earlier post that he would like to see a YABB board being used so that might be a possibility. I don't think you'd be able to just copy the pressf1 code I'd email first and ask. Good Luck JM PS. Another idea The next button on the left: Press Esc	Guest (0)

22384	2001-10-23 21:45:00	Sorry our code is copyright. You cannot use it. Also you haven't actually downloaded pcwpressf1.nsf - just a page. The actual code is a Lotus Domino database (which you cannot download) and you couldn't run it unless you have it sitting on a Domino web server. As the other posters have pointed out - there is plenty of free forum software available out there, and there are a few really good packages.
