  • Abstract
    Electronic bulletin boards are quickly becoming an efficient means of transferring information throughout much of the world without time zone constraint. With an ever increasing amount of transcontinental development and documentation taking place, the BBS provides a forum and exchange medium for conveniently delivering information fast and without mistake. Some of the benefits realized in one high-technology business by utilizing a BBS for the collection and retrieval of information from many wide-spread sources are discussed
