- * * This is the recommended setting * *
- [2] Means that users will be prompted for the "Reply?"
- question if they ask for it in the WWIVEdit

- WWIVEdit should beep at the user to get his

- writes. This can not be used for REMOTE

- files are in the standard directory WWIVEDIT\DICT!
-
- CHATMODE: [0] Normal Split Screen Two-Way Chat
- [1] "Safe" chat mode. If the user hangs up nothing bad
- will happen. The only problem is that it isn't

- The following two parameters are for compatibility with other BBS's and
- have not be thoroughly tested.
- FOSSIL: [0] Specifies not to use a fossil driver. For WWIV,
- this is the correct setting. If COMPORT is greater
- than 0, then this means that interrupt driven com
- routines should be used.
- [1] Specifies that a fossil driver should be used. You
- must also specify a COMPORT parameter.
-
- COMPORT: [0] Set this to 0 for local and WWIV definitions.
- IMPORTANT: If you are using WWIV, and this is not
- set to 0, there will definitely be problems.
- If this value is non-zero, WWIVEdit will either use
- interrupt driven I/O or Fossil I/O depending on the
- FOSSIL parameter.
