Abstract

CYBIS Release 2 (CR2) is a community-maintained set of enhancements for the CYBIS system originally provided by VCampus.

This guide is written for the hobbyist's view as a “Site Administrator”, i.e. the installer/maintainer of the hobbyist site. Pointers are provided throughout these articles which should enable a variety of hobbyists, students and systems programmers, to learn how the PLATO system works.

Design Goals

The design goals of CR2 are:

To establish an environment that would support the original TUTOR commands and their extensions following the transition to VCampus.
To support an enriched set of TUTOR commands enabling some lessons from NovaNET to be more easily back-ported into the DtCyber/NOS environment for conservation.
To create advanced container management tools which bring more modern tooling to the hands of the hobbyist developer.
To capture and create systems-level documentation that was ordinarily acquired through apprenticeship with the systems programming team.
