This script will create a bulletin board. It fixes these problems I've seen
in other boards:

  - Security. On some boards, you can just 'post thing=$command:@destroy me'
    then type 'command' and kill the board. Not on this one.
  
  - Display. Other boards just don't look as good as this one.

Things this board does NOT have:

  - A display of the poster's name on the 'show' screen. This is not too
much of a drawback.

This is distributed with no guarantees made about anything. If you make a
board like this and the Theme Wiz toads you (or, as we say on MushMUSH,
"impales your head"), too bad.  If I've secretly put
in a command like "@dolist search(me)=@dest ##" then too bad.  You should
check the code BEFORE you quote it.

You may wish to remove all lines beginning with '@@' as they are comments.
