Welcome to the website of NiKom! NiKom is a bulletin board system, BBS, for
Amiga computers originally
developed between 1990 and 1998. In 2015 the system sprung back to life as an open source
project on GitHub:
https://github.com/punktniklas/NiKom
NiKom was originally entirely in Swedish and conforms to the style of
"
KOM" (or KOMpatible), a type of
command driven bulletin board systems that was popular in Sweden in the pre-internet days.
Recently partial support for English has been added.
On this site you can find downloadable releases of NiKom and other information.
In the future it may be expanded with tutorials about how to setup a new NiKom system
and how to login and use it.

For information about changes in different versions, see the

Amazingly enough there are a couple of NiKom BBS:es that are up and running. Some
running on actual original Amiga hardware, some running on Amiga emulators.
This is a list as of 2018-10-28.
At the peak in the 90s there were an estimated 50-60 BBS:es running NiKom online.
A little over 100 licenses for the software were sold.
Some links to other KOMpatible systems. (Mainly in Swedish.)
