  Well here's a GREAT proggy!!  It's a personal organizer in which you can
  keep your busy schedule as well as pay your bills from home electronically
  and even gives you an option to hook directly into e-mail on the internet.

  SCOTCH has recently started releasing Swedish, Danish, and German Releases
  since there is a demand in Europe.  If you find that you would like your BBS
  to have access to these releases please leave a message for DARK LORD where
  possible - and you might become a SCOTCH Distribution site.

  Note:  2nd Front is NO LONGER part of SCOTCH and neither is LES MANLEY nor
         anyone affiliated.

  Special greetings : Werner & Tardy - probably see ya at P94!!

  Group greetings   : GENESIS, PWA

Bugs and quirks[edit | edit source]

GeoSafari crashes upon exiting.
It is possible to open the Bob applications without having the Home application open at the same time.
Most of the graphics will appear corrupted if Microsoft Bob is loaded on 16-bit high color display or better. Use 256 color display for best results.
