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.
