摘要:
A bulletin board system (BBS) is implemented on a server computer without employing database management software (DBMS). A hierarchical directory structure is defined in which there are directories and sub-directories into which BBS items are individually storable as files in accordance with the native file system of the server computer. In response to receiving a request from a client computer to post a BBS item, the BBS item is received as an individually storable file, and the file is stored within one of the directories and sub-directories. In response to receiving a request from a client computer to view the BBS, the client computer is sent a representation of the hierarchical directory structure, including filenames of the files for the BBS items stored within the directories and sub-directories. When a request is received for a particular BBS item, the client computer is sent the file for that particular BBS item.
