- SysOp main documentation
-
- NOTE: any information about the ADDANADD program is in the ADDANADD.DOC file
- very few references will be made in this documentation. This documentation
- is for setting up, and general use.
-
- *** INSTALLING BBS Advertisements onto your BBS
-
- 1) Make a Directory somewhere on your hard drive (example: C:\BBSADDS)
-
- 2) Copy or Unzip all file into that directory.
-
- 3) For the most part you are finished. However I would first read the
- ADDANADD.DOC file, and deside what if anything you want to do to the
- FILE0000 file. (This file displays to the user that if he has a ANSI add
- to add to the program what he needs to do. (See ADDANADD.DOC for more
- information))
-
- 4) After editing the FILE0000 and making any other changes, or additions talked
- about in the ADDANADD.DOC file. you will need to set up a batch file to
- run the program and install the door onto your program (See your manual
- on installing doors).
-
- 5) BBS Advertisements will work with the PCBOARD.SYS file or the DOOR.SYS
- file (NOTE: if the file is not found it could lock up your system. try
- hitting the ESC key if this should happen).
-
- CD\BBSADDS
- ADDS C:\PCB\PCBOARD.SYS
- CD\PCB
- BOARD
-
- Or
-
- CD\BBSADDS
- ADDS C:\BBS\DOOR.SYS
- CD\BBS
- BBSprogram
-
- Or
-
- CD\BBSADDS
- ADDS C:\BBS\CALLINFO.BBS
- CD\BBS
- BBSPROGRAM
-
- OR
-
- CD\BBSADDS
- ADDS C:\BBS\DORINFOx.DEF
- CD\BBS
- BBSPROGRAM
-
- 6) Also it has Fossil driver support. In fact with BBS Advertisements I would
- strongly recommend using a Fossil Driver. The program will work more
- smoothly if you do. How you do this is:
-
- ADDS C:\PCB\PCBOARD.SYS PORT:F:1
-
- F tells the program that you have a fossil driver. the 1 is the com-port.
- you can of course edit the com port to your liking..
-
- 7) What if I have a different com port? well there is a way for that too.
-
- ADDS C:\PCB\PCBOARD.SYS PORT:AAAA:X
-
- where AAAA is where you put the base address (hex) and X is the IRQ
- setting (0-15 decimal).
-
- 8) What if I have a Digiboard??
-
- ADDS C:\PCB\PCBOARD.SYS PORT:D:6
-
- the D is tells the program you are using a Digiboard. The 6 just tells it
- to use channel 6 on the digiboard.
-
- NOTE: I have not been able to test the Digiboard stuff. I therefor do not
- know for sure weather it works correctly.
-
-
- After all this mess you should be all ready to go. You should be all set up
- and the board is ready to run BBS Advertisements (BBS Version 1.00).
-
- *** ERROR Messages
-
- Error messages are not coded with 35 numbers that don't mean a thing..
- The errors will just tell you what is wrong. FILE NOT FOUND, please inform
- the SysOp is about the one message you as a SysOp will get real sick of if
- you have edited the FILE???? files and they are not in the right order...
- (See the ADDANADD.DOC file for more inforamtion).
-
- Another one will be on load up.. CAN'T FIND INIT file. If this error
- should happen the board will refuse to work and will kick the user back to the
- BBS. You must have the INIT file in the same directory as the ADDS.EXE file
- or the program simple will not work. (I would sugest you make backups of the
- INIT file everyonce in a while) The INIT file is the whole Configuration of
- ADDS.EXE, ADDS.EXE depends on the INIT file to supply it with the information
- of how many boards are suppost to be displayed, what are they? what information
- is about each board. without the file the program will not know what to do.
- so it will simple just kick you back to the BBS.
-
- *** REGISTERING... Please help the growth
-
- BBS Advertisements was not orignaly planned to work on a BBS. However after
- many SysOps around the Nation asking if I had a DOOR version I decided to make
- one after all. The Door version alone has taken 2 months of programing,
- screaming, studing, and everthing else. Even though the NON-BBS version is
- FREEWARE, I have decided to make this shareare. However I am a strong
- believer that Shareware should never go above $10.00. What I have done is
- made it so you can have a break and help the growth of BBS Advertisements.
-
- $8.00 is the amount I ask for if you send a disk with your ANSI add with
- the QUESION.DOC file filled out, and either printed up or added to the disk.
- Along with the order form and the Check or Money Order (U.S. dollars ONLY).
-
- $10.00 is the amount I ask for if you are just sending the order form and
- Check or Money Order (U.S. dollars ONLY). The added $2.00 is for the disk
- that I will send you and shipping. I am willing to eat the shipping if you
- send me your disk with your information. (NOTE: if a ANSI ADD and QUESTION.DOC
- file is not found on the disk you will be expected to still pay the $10.00.
- The special deal is for ANSI AD and QUESTION.DOC file to be on the DISK!)
-
- What you get for registering?? Well you get the annoying UNREGISTERED
- taken off with a REGISTERED TO: BBS NAME instead. The registered version
- will also have a counter on it, so the user can tell with a quick look how
- many ADs you have on your program. You will also get a Account on my BBS
- so you can call up anytime to make sure there isn't any new versions of
- either the BBS version or the NON-BBS version of BBS Advertisements, or any
- other program that will come out under the Fremont Software name.
-
- Also a finial note on registering, if you are a SysOp that has already
- sent your ANSI add to me, you can just say which ANSI screen is yours and
- the $8.00 registeration is yours. However if you think you can send your
- add and then send the registeration a week later and get away with it! HA!
- you will recieve a your registeration is $2.00 short, letter..(just joking!
- if I get the ANSI ad for the program you will only be required for the
- $8.00)
-
- *** Finial NOTES:
-
- I only really ask one thing. I ask that ever once in a while you ZIP up
- all your ANSI screens, with either all the QUESTION.DOC files, or with the
- INIT file you are useing and send them to my BBS every few months. This is
- so I can take your ANSI Screens and add them to the NON-BBS Version. This
- will get all your ANSI screens out to the world..
-
- Also I will be starting up a bunch of files that registered Users of
- BBS ADDS (BBS Version 1.00 or higher) well be able to download all ANSI
- screens I have, however this is not yet started, but will be in the next month
- or two.
-
- Any Other questions, problems etc.. Please contact me.
