- SL2QBBS v.2.0491
- by Wayne Robinson
- Copyright 1990, 1991 Under the Sun Software
- All rights reserved
-
- Converts SLBBS version 2 system data to QBBS/RBBS DORINFOx.DEF.
-
- Run the program from the command line with the /I paramter
- (SL2QBBS /I) to initialize it. You will be prompted to enter
- some data that is neccessary in the conversion process. This
- data will be stored in a file called SL2QBBSn.CFG, where n = the
- number of the SLBBS node. You must initialize it for each node
- though this can be don it one common directory. The config file
- must be present in the default directory when the program is
- subsequently run. If the program requires resetting for any
- reason, run it again from the command line with the /I parameter.
-
- I believe the setup is pretty straight forward. When prompted
- for paths, this refers only to paths, not filenames. The path to
- the DORINFOx.DEF file can be anywhere the file can be utilized by a
- door. I use a common directory called DOORS as a subdirectory of
- Searchlight's main directory. I have SL2QBBS place the
- DORINFOx.DEF file in the DOORS directory as a common place for
- all doors which access it, but you may have it put wherever
- you wish.
-
-
- Included in the archive is:
- SL2QBBS.DOC <== This file
- SL2QBBS.EXE <== The executable file
-
- The suggested usage is:
-
- SL2QBBS n (where n = the node #, even on single node BBS's)
-
- Example:
- @ECHO OFF ;turns echo off
- CD \BATCH ;change to batch directory
- SL2QBBS 2 ;run sl2qbbs and pass node 2
- CD C:\YT ;change to Yankee Trader dir
- YT C:\BATCH\DORINFO2.DEF ;run YT and pass dorinfo2.def

- Under the Sun Software will not be held responsible for damages
- caused by SL2QBBS whether these damages are caused directly by
- SL2QBBS or subsequent to running the program. If you use
- SL2QBBS you agree to this stipulation. If you live in one of
- those places that doesn't allow such exclusions, you may not use
- SL2QBBS.
-
- This program is now a free utility. All future versions will
- also be free. Because of this I do not expect to spend a lot of
- time supporting it. Please understand my reasoning. Supporting
- a free program takes away from my supporting myself in my
- commercial endeavors. I read all mail pertaining to my work, but
- I do not always reply to suggestions of changes to my free
- utilities for the above stated reason.
-
- ****** ATTENTION ******
- If you ran SL2QBBS on a version of Searchlight before SL2.0 you
- must reinitialize the utility by running it with the /I
- parameter. If you ran it on a single node BBS, take note that
- there is no longer a separate version. You must use the same
- syntax as the multi-node version.
