- This is how BBSERV works right at the moment. Read or GET the other files
- on this disk for setup etc.
-
- BBSERV runs from wakeup.bb as a DOS command whenever you specify. It may be
- run manualy for the first few times to get familiar with it's operation &
- be sure it's functioning properly.
-
- 1. It's setup program (setserve.exe) reads parms.bb for information needed
- and asks you questions needed for it's own parameter setup file BBSERV.SET
- Once it's configured **** Don't play in it !!! ****.
- 2. When it is called up it searches for the TO callsign or alias in msg.bb.
- 3. If it matches then it reads the subject & selects the routine requested.
- 4. It performs the routine or writes an error message & flags OK or ERROR.
- using the existing message number & file.
- 5. It reverses the From, @From, Heir.addr.& creates a new file size & BID in
- msg.bb.
- 6. It writes to it's own log a record of changes, requests & errors.
- 7. It cycles until all unkilled messages are done.
- 8. If you are running less than V2.11 you must load the altered msg.bb
- file into memory when BBSERV is done, not needed in V2.11. This is done
- with the GL command using wakeup.bb or manually if it was started this
- way. If you have BBSERV.EXE in any directory different from "BB" then
- you must specify it's path when calling it up.
