-
- Dear fellow SYSOP,
-
- This is the read-me file for RBBS-PC 17.3's executable files.
- It should be a part of RBBS-EXE.ZIP, containing the following files:
-
- CONFIG.EXE Configuration program. Set up and customize RBBS-PC.
- LDFILTER.COM Used with RBBS-PC when compiled under QB 2.01, with Desqview
- RBBS-PC.EXE Executable program for RBBS-PC.EXE
- STDERR.COM Used with Desqview
- WATCHDG1.COM Utility that reboots when carrier drops. For COM1 use
- WATCHDOG.COM Utility that reboots when carrier drops. For COM2 use
- WATCHDGS.COM Utility that reboots when carrier drops. For PC/SLAVE use
- DOC\WATCHDOG.DOC Documentation for Watchdogs
-
- This file part of a larger set of files and should not be
- distributed alone.
-
- RBBS-PC Version CPC17.3 is distributed via three mandatory and four
- optional standard "ZIP" files. Two sets of merges are available but
- not automatically distributed.
-
- File Name Description
-
- (Mandatory)
- RBBS-DOC.ZIP Documentation for RBBS-PC
- RBBS-EXE.ZIP Executable files.
- RBBS-TXT.ZIP System text files used by RBBS-PC.
-
- (Optional)
- RBBS-BAS.ZIP BASIC Source code for RBBS-PC.
- RBBS-ASM.ZIP RBBS-PC assembly language source code.
- RBBS-EXT.ZIP External protocol drivers
- RBBS-UTL.ZIP Miscellaneous RBBS-PC utilities.
-
- (Not distributed routinely but available)
- RBBS-LIT.ZIP Merges to reduce size of RBBS-PC.EXE.
- RBBSSEXE.ZIP RBBS-PC.EXE. Smaller, faster, minimal debugging.
-
- Simply uncompress the first three files and follow the instruction in the
- RBBS-PC documentation entitled, "Installing RBBS-PC for the First Time."
-
- For those who have never operated an electronic bulletin board before,
- we suggest getting Bantam Books' "The Complete Electronic Bulletin Board
- Starter Kit" by Charles Bowen and David Peyton (ISBN 0-553-34552-4).
- RBBS-PC's documentation is only a "reference" and is not nearly as good
- a learning guide for new SYSOP's. However, the book only covers RBBS-PC
- version 15.1C, and therefore does not cover new features. Version 17.3
- is downward compatible with the system files of 15.1C.
-
- Enjoy!
