NMODS Expander Kit

History

Versions of The Major BBS up to and including v5.x came with a module limit of 20 modules per compile and link of the BBS. In other words, Sysops could only have 20 different modules compiled into the system at once, including the modules that shipped with the BBS itself. This did not leave much room for big expansion.

So Don Arnel of Logicom decided to do something about it, and released this source patch kit to break the 20 module barrier.

Note: NMODS refers to the #define constant of the same name that defined the maximum number of modules possible. With The Major BBS v6 and beyond, this kit was unnecessary as modules could be added without recompiling the BBS, and had no low limit.
