| There are many existing Synchronet command shells available (e.g. [[ftp://vert.synchro.net/main/BAJAMODS/00index.html|here]] and [[ftp://vert.synchro.net/main/SBBS_3RD/00index.html|here]]). The default command shell (''default.bin'') is officially referred to as the //Synchronet Classic Shell// (it emulates the Synchronet v1 user interface) and if you and your users have no special requirements or preferences, it'll probably be the only shell you're ever need. If you or your users are used to another BBS menu/command style, there are shells available which emulate the style of other classic BBS programs (e.g. WWIV, Renegade, PCBoard, MajorBBS, Wildcat!, etc.) as well as shells which are intended for use by users of limited BBS experience (e.g. //Synchronet Simple Shell//), and specialized shells (e.g. ''sdos'' emulates MS-DOS and ''lbshell'' is a full-screen light-bar shell by [[person:Deuce]] written in JavaScript). | There are many existing Synchronet command shells available (e.g. [[ftp://vert.synchro.net/main/BAJAMODS/00index.html|here]] and [[ftp://vert.synchro.net/main/SBBS_3RD/00index.html|here]]).
