WANTED : C++ OS/2 _Text_ and _GUI_ programmers with lots of
communications / DLL / and (Optionally) TCPIP Experience!
Extreme Plus if in Chicago[land] area, IL.
Background
----------
The Company is TwinTurbo Software, Inc.
We, over the past 4 years, have been developing a BBS system called Hydra
BBS. (Although it has had many names along its journey)
Our BBS, honestly, has excellent design (with some needed work), excellent
features, and a mouth watering developers interface (DLL Technology).
The only thing we lack are all those ring-ding-bells-and-whistles-addons-
and-other-associated-games-programs-features-etc that have already been
written for [Long standing systems like] MajorBBS, TBBS, etc. So, to sum
up - we've got a great design but not much using it.
The reason? Our team consists of 3 people. The system has gotten so big
that if we quit our day jobs (G.O.O.D jobs - "Get Out Of Debt" Jobs :))
and worked 24 hrs on the BBS we STILL wouldn't hit everything that needs
to be done. We really need 1 or 2 other people that are willing to
join the team, who KNOW their [schtuff], would like to be independantly
wealthy within say 5 years <We hope, eh? -- I dont think we have much
to worry about... A guy from IBM was quoted as saying "When you guys
release this, you're never going to have to work again in your life"
after seeing the product>.
The Nitty gritty is this: We don't have any official policies. If you're
qualified and we get along to some degree -- it'll work. We also don't
have any income at this point. The BBS, still being in beta, is not
ready for sale. At the appropriate time / place we will put the company
(TTS Inc.) on the public stock market, throw the package to a marketing
firm (to box it, and make manuals etc), and start reaping the profits/
growing the company.
So, I think I've about covered enough. If you have questions / comments /
suggestions / offers etc -- please contact me via the below references ...
