                         Announcing The Oracle System
                      The Multi-line/Multi-Task GEM BBS

     SCHAUZMOLL Soft. is is about to release  a new BBS system like nothing
you  have  ever  seen  on the  Atari  platform.   The  Oracle  System  will
revolutionize  the  way you  communicate by  modem.  Forget everything you
ever  known about "BBSing"  and enter  the area of "GUI-Telecommunication".
Oracle  is like being on the GEM desktop,  so you can use your mouse to go
where you  want to go,  see what you  want and get it  without your fingers
touching the keyboard.

     From  the SysOp  point of  view Oracle  is a  totally  new approach to
running and maintaining a bulletin board system. There is no separate system
editor  or user  editor programs  since they are  included in  the main BBS
program.  This make  Oracles menus  react instantly  to any changes made to
the setup  of your sigs,  message bases,  informations sections, etc.. It is
possible  to edit any  menu,  create message base or files section at will.
For example,  let's say  that your  Co-SysOp is  chatting with  you on-line
and  propose adding  a new  section on  programming in  GFA basic so he can
upload his latest creation. What do you do??? You get out of the chat mode,
you press the help key on your keyboard and the System Editor Menu pops up,
you press the edit this menu button et voila! You can edit the current menu
on line,  save it and check  it out immediately  because the change are made
right away. The system really works like you would go and search for a file
on a big hard  disk with  many folders  containing  many files. In fact all
the menus  in Oracle are  like folders on a hard disk.  Folders can contain
files or other  folders,  so an Oracle  menu can  contains others  menus or
different kind of files like messages, programs, texts files, doors, etc....
There  is  _NO_  limit  to the  number  of sub  menus  that the  system can
handle. Every items in the Oracle system, from menus to files sections, are
presented as icons in a window just like the desktop so anyone who has used
his computer  for a couple  of weeks can easily travel trough Oracle.  Also
all files  transfer (upload & download)  are done in  the background so you
can go anywhere else on the BBS at the same time.


     Here are a couples of Oracles main features:
     
     - Can handle 3 phones lines using a MEGA STE
     - User friendly Graphic Interface with menus, windows and icons.
     - Unlimited number of menus, sub-menus, message bases & file section.

        and quote functions all using the mouse.

     - Library Dynamic file distribution
     - Multi-TOS and Falcon compatible

    The terminal also incorporate a ZIP file extractor and will extract
       downloaded files automatically after logoff.

  *** The background file transfer is really only possible on system
       with hard disk since floppy disks are too slow.


     These are  some of the  possibility  that the Oracle system offer you.
To accomplish  all this, and much more,  Oracle requires a special terminal
program capable of displaying properly all the information. This means that
every one  who wishes to  communicate  with the  Oracle  system needs that
special  terminal...   How can your  user get their  new terminal???  Easy!
When  a  user calls  Oracle for  the first  time the  System  recognize him
as a  new user  and ask him if he wants to register and receive the special
terminal  needed so  he can call  back and explore  the new system.  If the
"new"  user agree  he can  download  the  terminal  using x,  y  or Zmodem,
uncompress the file and register at home,  then call back to instantly gain
access to your BBS!

     It is  impossible to  explain in every details  the depth and power of
of the Oracle System so check out for the terminal available by the end
of January and call my BBS to see for yourself the power of Oracle System.

      
*** The Oracle system will be available for the Atari ST
      computer on February 1st 1994.
