- King of the Board ver 8.0
- Copyrighted 1989-1992 by Chuck Valecek
- Suburban Software
- (708)636-6694
-
- NOTICE!!!! If you are running a version that is less than 7.05
- then the conversion programs will NOT work with your files. Remove them and
- start over from scratch.
-
-
- Quickie Doc's
-
- Either create a new directory or remove all the files except the KING.USR and
- QUESTION.DAT, if you create a new one then copy those files in.
-
- Run DUMPKOB.EXE - It will convert the KING.USR to a text file.
-
- Run DUMPQUES.EXE - It will dump the question file into a text file.
-
- Run BLDKOB.EXE - It will create a new QUESTION.DAT file and a new KING.USR
- file for the door.
-
- KOBCFG80.EXE will allow you to create a new config file or you may edit your
- old one the choice is yours.
-
- YOU MUST RUN THIS AS SOME OPTIONS HAVE CHANGED OR ADDED.
-
- If you get a error form the door when it executes then the CFG file was not
- updated for this version of the door.
-
- The KINGUTL.EXE is all new so before you use any of the options make sure that
- the KING.USR and QUESTION.DAT file are properly backed up.
-
-
- I would recommend to all PCBoard Sysops to use the USERS.SYS file instead
- of the PCBOARD.SYS file. To do this go into PCBSETUP Main Conference setup.
- Go into the DOORS.DAT file and select the USERS.SYS file in the door setup.

- WATCHDOG/CTTY/ANSI.SYS
- ----------------------
-
- CTTY and WATCHDOG are not required and should not be used with
- this program. SSA contains its own communication routines
- which monitor the COM port. If carrier is lost, it will return
- to PCBoard where the BBS will log the user off the system.
- ANSI.SYS, or something similar, is required for SSA to
- function properly!
-
- Thats it for now
