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.
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\menu. 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.
