4. Betty
Betty is an automatic "archie"-like system for BMS servers. It maintains a list of known BMS sites and their files. You can even request a server's list or find a program on a server via this method.
Betty maintains a database that lists all the files available on some BMS sites. To consult the Betty database, you send a mail message to the server describing what you are looking for. The server will reply your message with the results of the query. Here is an example:
To: betty@mirkwood.cam.org
Subject:
prog commodity
quit
And the reply would contain:
From: nobody@mirkwood.cam.org
To: hebrais@mirkwood.cam.org
Subject: Betty

Matches on deepthot.cary.nc.us:

Betty understands a number of commands. To get the HELP file, send a mail message to "betty@mirkwood.cam.org" with the word "help" in the subject line. You may contact the maintainer of Betty at "betty-request@mirkwood.cam.org".
