ProBoard is a freeware bulletin board system (BBS) written for IBM PC-compatible computers running MS-DOS that gained popularity among hobbyist BBSes in the early to mid 1990s. It was originally written by Philippe Leybaert (Belgium) in Borland C++, optimized with assembly language, a QuickBBS-style BBS.
