- on my system with no problems, I can't make any promises about yours!
-
- The FREEware concept:
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
- TG -> RG is released into the public domain with only one "price".
- We ask that you let us know what you think of our program and that you
- help distribute it as far as you can! (cheap at half the price, eh?).
- Also, if you see a need for a particular utility for Renegade, get ahold
- of one of us! We're always on the prowl for a good project <grin>.
- We can be reached either through netmail, or through any of several forums
- in the ITCNET.

- a real chore! Thanks for all the support Cott!
-
- Overview of TG -> RG:
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
- TG -> RG will convert all of your Telegard BBS files over to a format that
- Renegade BBS can use, thereby making it easy on all of your Users (and on
- the SysOp as well, of course!). So simple it pretty much runs itself,
- but there are a couple of things you need to know about it. TG -> RG takes
- the grief out of having to re-enter all of your Users, File base information,
- etc. by hand (or making your Users log on as "new" once again).
-
- This archive consists of two files:
-
- TG2RG.DOC This text file you are reading
- TG2RG.EXE The executable program
-
- Operation of TG -> RG:
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
- 1. TG -> RG must be able to locate the Renegade RENEGADE.DAT file. So
- either your BBS directory must be on the path, or TG -> RG must reside
- in the same directory as the RENEGADE.DAT file.
-
- 2. Before running TG -> RG, you must have a copy of Renegade installed;
- TG -> RG does not turn your Telegard BBS into a Renegade BBS, it simply
- converts the BBS files into a Renegade format in their own directories.
-
- 3. Run TG -> RG - the program will prompt you to confirm conversion of each
- Telegard File before it makes any conversion.
-
- 4. Continue to enjoy your BBS, now using Renegade software!
-
-
-
- SPECIAL NOTES:
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
- 1. Before running TG -> RG *BACK UP* your Telegard BBS and your Renegade BBS
- files in case of any accidental corruption. This shouldn't happen,
- but it's nice to have in case it does!
-
- 2. As TG -> RG runs, it will move converted files from the Telegard BBS
- directory to your Renegade BBS directory. This way none of your
- Telegard BBS files risks being overwritten by this program.
-
- 3. You will need a separate program called MCICONV.EXE to convert all the
- MCI strings to the new Renegade format. Until you have ran this, all of
- your MCI codes will be jumbled and make no sense.
