Color 64 BBS is a historical juggernaut in the Commodore 64 BBS world with years of development under its belt. It is a marriage of complexity and simplicity that provides powerful features for the system and at the same time, ease of customization to make your system unique.

			This wiki services 8.0+ versions of Color 64. For those interested in earlier versions such as 7.37, recommend you use [https://theoasisbbs.com/color-64-bbs Oasis BBS.com] to help you along.

	This BBS program is comprised of two parts. The first part is the set of BASIC programs, called Overlays, which are responsible for the operation of the BBS program. The second part is a section of machine language code, which extends the functions of BASIC to allow it to operate with a modem and to allow BASIC to run as fast as possible. The original authors purposely wrote the overlays in BASIC for ease of modification by Sysops, which was how my development of version 8.1.0a came to be. With a little BASIC programming knowledge, you can make your system stand out from others; yet this is not a requirement. Even without a programming background, the stock system includes enough features to run an excellent BBS system.		This BBS program is comprised of two parts.

	Before setting out to install your system, you should read through all the installation documentation carefully. Do some planning on paper so you will have almost everything decided BEFORE you begin installation. Some key considerations are your BBS theme (what is your BBS about or for?), storage-space availability versus content (message and filebase categories), and what hardware will be supporting the system. More on all this in ~~Chapter 2:~~ Installation.		Before setting out to install your system, you should read through all the installation documentation carefully.
