I have a old school BBS program that was made for DOS and Dialup modems. I would like a clone of the user experience done. I'd prefer it to be in C or Python and would run on CentOS with MySql. I am open to this running on a windows machine written in something other then C. All user data and statistics (number of calls, etc) would be stored in the database. I'd like all prompts coded in to the system to cut down on sql access. Maybe in a .h? I can do the data entry of all the prompts to save you time once I know how you'd want them. I attached a .zip of the program I want to simulate. If you have a windows 32bit machine you can open a command window, go to this folder and execute: [login to view URL] On install choose 'social mode'. Answer NO to all the questions and it will get you to a login prompt. There you can see all the functionality. I DO NOT need the menu options or code for: - Library - Database - Order Entry I would also like all mail and forums in the MySql DB. Please give me the details of the platform and code that you'd like to write this in with your quote. Thanks! Rob

Hi, I have PLENTY of C programming experience under Linux (starting in 1996 when I was a student), so I am pretty comfortable about writing C code under Linux (I use mainly Debian myself, but I can't see why code that I compile under Debian won't work under CentOS). I am also familiar with DOS from the late 1980s and early 1990s; I wrote quite a bit of software back then under Turbo Pascal for an old Mitac Paragon XT with 640k of memory, including a wordprocessing program which was 5000 lines of Turbo Pascal code. Hence, I am familiar with the functionality of the old DOS systems. I don't have a working Windows system at home, but I have some old computers at home on which I could install DOS (probably freedos) and install your BBS system to see it working. However, this would take me some time, so I don't really want to have to do it unless you agree to pay me some token amount (maybe $10 or $20) for the amount of time that it would take me to do this. Do you have any screenshots (or even cellphone camera photographs of the screen) of the BBS program running under DOS? However, in general, I would be keen to work on your project. Regards, Sunny

I'm an inexperienced programmer but I'm willing to work as little as nothing as long as I can get some interesting projects to work on. I know a large number of programming languages from C to Rust and I only use Linux, so I would definitely be willing to write this program in Linux. I highly recommend and would be willing to write your app using the Rust programming language, which would give you the benefit of working on every operating system with the performance of C/C++ without the insecurities. Rust is the only language created to date that can truly be called 'safe' and it has a lot of ambition going for it. I could still write this in a dumb language like C, but if you're interested in getting a Rust version of your application for the modern era of computing, I can try my hand at it.
