- INSTALLATION:
-
- Installation is very easy and will work on any BBS that uses
- batch files to run doors and a FOSSIL Driver.
- (WWIV seems to be a problem though).
-
- The first step is to create a directory and place all files
- from this archive into it.
-
- Next is the configuration file. A SAMPLE.CFG file is
- included in this archive (It can have any name you want, as
- long as it's on the command line when starting BJ). Edit
- the Configuration file to suit your system needs.
