- With the UltraBBS v2.08 package, you should have received three files:
-
- UBBS208A.ZIP Contains executables and main files
- UBBS208B.ZIP Contains executables, documentation, help, & sample files
- UBBS208C.ZIP Contains non-overlaid version of executable
-
- You should unZIP UBBS208A.ZIP into a \UBBS\ directory. UBBS208B.ZIP must be
- unZIPped with PKUNZIP's "-d" option to create the necessary directories to
- place its files in (FILES\ and HELP\). If you wish to use the non-overlaid
- version, then unZIP UBBS208C.ZIP and rename its UBBSNO.EXE file to UBBS.EXE.
- The overlaid version requires much less memory (see the documentation for the
- exact requirements) but operates a bit slower, especially if you have a slow
- hard disk.
-
- As packaged, UltraBBS comes with all paths set to directories on drive D:. If
- you use another drive, remember, you must change ALL drive letters--in the BBS
- parameters, the conference setup, the DAT files' setup sections, etc. Also
- remember to create all necessary directories when first getting started!
-
- To run UltraBBS, you will need several files in addition to what is included in
- the UBBS208?.ZIP files. You will need a FOSSIL driver (common ones are X00,
- OPUSCOMM, and BNU), and you'll need DSZ and BIMODEM (if you use the protocol
- batch files that came with the package). These programs are available on most
- BBSes.
-
- The UltraBBS documentation, ULTRABBS.TXT, is designed to be printed and may not
- look perfectly normal when viewed on-screen. It can be printed with:
-
- COPY ULTRABBS.TXT PRN
-
- The file CONTACT.TXT lists places where the author may be contacted. If you
- have any problems, suggestions, or bug reports, please report them to one of
- these places. Many new features are already planned for the next version and
- your suggestions would be appreciated.
