              Heart Of Tennessee Bulletin Board Service

                            Murfreesboro

                 The geographical center of Tennessee


       The HOTtest BBS around brings you over 3 Gigs of free BBS!


       Home of HOT DOORS Programers and there fine Door Programs.


  Many a R.C.U.G. member has seen the logo of the HOT BBS. It often means

 that the auto dialer on that favorite communications program has finally

 gotten through. Now if you have enough time, take a look and grab the

 latest shareware programs available in this area. Then check your mail

 and your off to yet another BBS.

  This seems to be the click of most users who log on to this BBS. I

 would just like to point out that there is a lot more to the HOT BBS

 that a few programs.

    A few pointers to save time while on-line:

 1 Capture your messages for down loading and then read them off line.

   You may also want to learn how to edit your messages off line, then

   upload back to the board, This saves time typing while on-line.


 2  If you do not have the latest PKZip program be sure to download

   it and and the latest listing from the Main Conference File area #1.

   All the files in this area are FREE in time and download bytes. This

   means it will not be charged to your allotted time.

    Read your listings off line using Van Buerg's List program or your

   favorite database. No need to download this more than once a month,

   because all new uploads are placed into a separate directory.


 3  Turn off the Menu (Expert mode), any time you need it to reference

   just go for Help or ? and it will be displayed. Pressing enter gives

   you the command line again. With the menu off you will also get

   shorter command prompt help.


 4  Turn on COLOR Menus. Many people will tell you that color

   (or Graphics) will slow you down. This is not true (maybe at 300

   baud). The color menus are more enhanced and easier to pick out the

   command you are looking for. Unlike many other Bulletin Boards, we

   have taken great pains to keep background colors off and use ANSI

   color for shorter menus and faster time.

   Be sure to have line feeds on for our color menus. We supply no

   carriage returns (CR) at the end of each line.


    Shareware programs make up a lot of what BBS users call Bulletin

   Boards for! So I thought it only fitting to explain the term

   Shareware.

     Shareware is a general term for copyrighted software that uses a

   direct-to-the-consumer marketing method, eliminating the retailer

   and or middleman. Primarily using Bulletin Boards to advertize these

   products. Unlike the conventional software you buy, you have the

   opportunity to try it before you buy it. Some shareware programs

   may be purchased or registered for a fixed price, while other

   shareware companies or authors simply request a reasonable

   contribution.

     What a user gets for registering depends on the product. Many

   shareware authors give registered users a nicely printed copy of

   the documentation and one or more free updates. Others withhold some

   useful parts of the program to encourage users to register. Upon

   registration, they supply the new working version of the program.

     When Down loading Shareware programs from Bulletin Boards or

   purchasing shareware programs from vendors (Selling shareware disk)

   you are not purchasing the software. You are simply paying for the

   disk, copying and distribution service, or time to download. If the

   product is "SHAREWARE", the authors will still expect you to register

   and pay them later if you find the program useful.

     "PUBLIC DOMAIN" software authors authorize use of their software

   without paying the author any fees. "CRIPPLE WARE" and Demo ware are a

   waste of disk space for most Bulletin Boards because they offer

   nothing more than advertizing.

Evidence supporting quantum information processing in animals

              Evidence supporting quantum            information processing in animals                    James A. Donald                    1068 Fulton Av                    Sunnyvale, CA 94089-1505                    USA I show that quantum systems can rapidly solve some problems for which finite state machines require a non- polynomially large time. This class of problems is closely related to the class of problems that animals can solve rapidly and effortlessly, but are intractable for computers by all known algorithms. 1. Introduction      Animals, including very simple animals, can rapidly and effortlessly perceive objects, whereas computers take nonpolynomial time to do this by all known algorithms [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]. Our persistent inability to emulate perception gives reason to doubt the current paradigm and to look for an alternative paradigm.      Penrose[7] and many others [8, 9, 10] argue from practical considerations, Godel's theorem, and

ARMIES OF CHAOS

                          ARMIES OF CHAOS -      Before anyone proposes more gun control, he or she should know  about a simple, deadly weapon 4 times as powerful as Dirty Harry's  legendary .44 Magnum -- and at least twice as concealable -- that  _can't_ controlled.        This simple, deadly weapon can be made by anyone -- even a  child -- with unpowered hand tools in an hour's time using $5 worth  of materials, most of which are available around the house anyway.   In traditional form it's reusable an unlimited number of times, and  modern plastics have rendered its disposable version electronically  undetectable.  You can clear a room with such a weapon (more of a  hand-held directional grenade than a gun -- sort of a recycleable  Claymore mine) and it's just one of hundreds of similar time-proven  designs.        Complete instructions for building this simple, deadly weapon  could be given in half the space I'm using here and not require a  single illustrat
