Walnut Creek CDROM BBS readme
Opus
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
The \_bbs\opus directory contains the tools that created the
files.bbs file in each subdirectory. These should be usable with
Remote Access / TubFile / Opus / QuickBbs / Superbbs.
Maximus
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
\_bbs\maxtool contains a utility to copy the files.bbs files to one directory
on your hard disk and create the hcdareas.ctl file that points to the index
files. A prebuilt control file is in this directory. Thanks to Koos van den
Hout.
PC Board
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
The \_bbs\pcbtool directory contains the tools used to create the
\_bbs\pcb dir??? files. It also has a utility to create the global
index file. Please make backups on your configuration.
RBBS
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
The \_bbs\rbbstool directory has some tools and hints for installing
the cdrom on a RBBS board. The file listings are in \_bbs\rbbs. Thanks to Bruce Jackson.
Spitfire
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
The \_bbs\sftool directory has some tools and hints for installing the cdrom
on a spitfire BBS. The file listings are in \_bbs\sf.
RoverBoard
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
The \_bbs\rover directory has instructions for converting the
\_bbs\pcboard\*.dir files to rOver board format.
Wildcat
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
\_bbs\wc30 contains a setup program for wildcat, version 3.55. this is the
commercial version, not the shareware version. This works with versions up to
and including 3.90.
ALL
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
If you want to show me what your bbs requires for a directory area display
similar to the rbbs display, please send me the exact specifications.
I produced these with the program "makemenu" in \_bbs. This produces a double
column listing of the area descriptions based on \_bbs\dirs.txt. There are
three versions of the directory menu, a plain version (dir.dir), a IBM high-bit
version (dirg.dir), and an ANSI color version (dirc.dir).
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
A lot of these programs use DOS redirection. This allows a program that
prints to "standard out" to `redirect' its output to a file or another program.
If it sends it to another program it goes through a `pipe'. For example,
makemenu > out
sends the output of the makemenu program into a file called out.
If I wanted to sort the output of the makemenu command and display it to
the screen, I'd type
makemenu | sort
If I wanted to sort it and sent it to a file, I'd type
makemenu | sort > out
Most of the batch files use redirection. My utilites write to standard out so
they can be redirected to a file or piped through another program accepts
standard in as input.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
If you set the disc up for your board with features or enhancements that aren't
on the disc, please ftp me a copy to cdrom.com or snail-mail me a copy and I'll
credit your account toward future purchases.
I'm not a sysop. I have tried to create file index files that will
be useful for sysops. Feedback is appreciated. Prebuilt BBS
configuration files are greatly appreciated.
