TriBBS is a computer
bulletin board system (BBS) designed forMS-DOS -based computers.History
TriBBS was written by Mark Goodwin and marketed through his company,
TriSoft . TriBBS development was guided primarily by the requests and suggestions of the SysOps who used the program. As a result, the TriBBS Application Program Interface was added by Goodwin to aid other software developers in making third party software operate seamlessly with TriBBS.In
1997 , TriBBS was sold to Gary Price ofFreejack's Software [http://www.dmine.com/bbscorner/software.htm] , who had previously developed a collection ofadd-on s and tools for use with TriBBS. Apart from a handful of small feature additions, the most significant contribution Price made was making TriBBS Y2K-compliant.In
2000 , TriBBS was sold again, this time toFrank Prue ofPTC Software [http://www.dmine.com/bbscorner/software.htm] . Shortly after the acquisition, PTC Software announced via the alt.bbs.tribbsnewsgroup that they intended to release a 32-bit version of TriBBS.Fact|date=April 2008 It has never been released.Current Status
