The BBS has a separate file area for each Number Nine product.  
The latest driver updates can be found in each product's file 
area, and files of general interest (shareware, etc.) can be 
found in the General library.  An E-mail system is available 
for technical questions about Number Nine products or about 
the BBS in general.  A complete listing of available files can 
be downloaded by invoking the "Download List of Files" command 
from any file library menu.

On the US BBS, RIP graphics are supported, and a RIP compatible 
terminal program is available in the General library 
(RIPTM154.ZIP).

Many files are self-extracting, but some files will require the 
latest version of PKUNZIP to decompress.  PKUNZIP is available 
in the General library (filename PKZ204G.EXE), and can also be 
found on most on-line services such as CompuServe and America 
On-line.
