TAG (BBS)

T.A.G. is a DOS-based bulletin board system (BBS) computer program, released from 1986 to 2000.
History.
T.A.G. was written in Borland Pascal and is free for business or personal use. The authors considered it fun to give the program away while others tried to charge for BBS programs. The software was a fork from an early version of the WWIV source code.

Users.
Peak number of running systems: Just over 1000, mostly in the United States and Canada. The largest concentration was in the Detroit area, where it was one of most popular BBS software run in the area. There was a somewhat friendly rivalry with the Telegard team, which also started in the same area.
