"The Trilogy" - January 1994
The BBS in a BOX Trilogy was a three-disc compilation of software that had been included in BBS in a BOX releases between 1991 and 1993. To buy all three discs would have set a buyer back $186 (around $400 in 2026 dollars), indicating that even this more end-user-friendly collection was still primarily targeted at BBS operators.
As BBS in a BOX is becoming a standard in the public domain and shareware circles more and more users have requested a decompressed version. In order to accommodate these requests we have created "The Trilogy". "The Trilogy" consists of three CD-ROM's compiled from the January issue of "BBS in a BOX". As such this will be an annual release. The costs related to such a project are high for mastering and packaging compared to one CD-ROM such as "BBS in a BOX" but the ability to run programs from the CD itself will make it easier for users to try the software provided.
"The Trilogy" is a combination of files from "BBS in a BOX" and additional files available at the time of pressing. How is "The Trilogy" categorized?
"Trilogy 1" - consists of Animation, Art, Fonts, Publishing, MIDI, Music and QuickTime™ files in decompressed format.
"Trilogy II" - consists of Games, Education, Hypercard, News, Newton and Software and hardware reviews in decompressed format.
"Trilogy III" - consists of Apple, Business, DA's, Programming, System 7 tools, Telecommunications, and Updates in decompressed format.
Great Collection - The Trilogy contains the largest collection of software ever tested for System 732 bit compatibility. But that was not enough! We added thousands of new files since volume IX, updated descriptions, added new sections like Newton, Internet, 100 FC settings, Publishing, AppleScript, updated Adobe fonts, General MIDI, and a separate Apple Licensed software area for those with the license to distribute like User Groups. It's HOT!
