CICA MS Windows CDROM, April 92 edition. Walnut Creek CDROM.
The \bbs\fwkcs and \bbs\zdcs directories contain bbs utilities that check a
zip file for a unique arithmetic signature to disallow duplicate uploads.
The \bbs\opus directory contains the tools that created the files.bbs files
in the \bbs\opus from each zip directory's 00_index.txt file. This should be
usable with Remote Access / Maximus / TubFile / Opus / QuickBbs / Superbbs.
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. How
well this will work, I don't know. Please make backups on your
configuration.
The \bbs\rbbstool directory has some tools and hints for installing the cdrom
on a RBBS board. The file listings are in \bbs\rbbs. The directory files,
dir.dir, dirc.dir, and dirg.dir are in \bbs\rbbstools.
The \bbs\sftool directory has some tools and hints for installing the cdrom
on a spitfire BBS. The file listings are in \bbs\sf.
The \bbs\rover directory has a simple utility to convert the \bbs\dir files
to rOver board format.
The \bbs\rbbstool has some directory screens for this disc. All the
directories are collapsed into 40 directories, so the list displays on almost
one screen. There is a plain version, a IBM high-bit version, and an ANSI
color version. 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.
The \bbs\dirs.txt file is the basis for the batch files in each bbs's
subdirectory.
If you are a BBS author, and you would like to include your BBS on this disc
set up so people can use the BBS plug-and-play (like "rbbs in a box"), please
contact me. If you set the disc up for your board with features or
enhancements that aren't on my CDROM, please ftp me a copy to cdrom.com or
snail-mail it to me and I'll credit your account toward future purchases.
I'm not a sysop of all these boards. I have tried to create file index files
that will be useful for sysops. Feedback is appreciated. Prebuilt BBS
configuration files are greatly appreciated. I've given a number of free
discs to people that help. I'm interested in how much trouble it is to
update our discs when a new version of the disc is released.
