Dear fellow SYSOP,
This is the read me file for the utilities distributed with
RBBS-PC version 17.3. It should be a part of RBBS-UTL.ZIP,
containing the following files:
UTIL\MU-EDIT.EXE Utility to work with MESSAGE files outside of RBBS-PC
UTIL\MU-EDIT.DOC Documentation for MU-EDIT.EXE
UTIL\MU-PURGE.EXE Utility to pack USER and MESSAGE files
UTIL\MU-PURGE.DOC Documentation for MU-PURGE.EXE
UTIL\DAILY.CTL Sample daily control file for MU-PURGE.EXE
UTIL\WEEKLY.CTL Sample weekly control file for MU-PURGE.EXE
UTIL\RECONFIG.EXE Utility to convert older RBBS-PC.DEF files to 17.3 format
UTIL\RECONFIG.DOC Documentation for RECONFIG.EXE
UTIL\RECONFIG.BAS Source for RECONFIG.EXE
UTIL\FFS.DOC Documentation for fast file search
UTIL\MAKEFFS.BAT Batch file to create fast file search system
UTIL\MAKEFIDX.BAS Source code for MAKEFIDX.EXE
UTIL\MAKEFIDX.EXE Utility to create list of downloadable files
UTIL\MAKEFIDX.KG Driver/configuration file for MAKEFIDX.EXE
UTIL\MAKETABS.BAS Source code for MAKETABS.EXE
UTIL\MAKETABS.EXE Utility to create an index for file list
This file is part of a larger set of files and should not
normally be distributed alone.
RBBS-PC Version CPC17.3 is distributed via three mandatory and four
optional standard "ZIP" files. Two sets of merges are available but
not automatically distributed.
File Name Description
(Mandatory)
RBBS-DOC.ZIP Documentation for RBBS-PC
RBBS-EXE.ZIP Executable files.
RBBS-TXT.ZIP System text files used by RBBS-PC.
(Optional)
RBBS-BAS.ZIP BASIC Source code for RBBS-PC.
RBBS-ASM.ZIP RBBS-PC assembly language source code.
RBBS-EXT.ZIP External protocol drivers
RBBS-UTL.ZIP Miscellaneous RBBS-PC utilities.
(Not distributed routinely but available)
RBBS-LIT.ZIP Merges to reduce size of RBBS-PC.EXE.
RBBSSEXE.ZIP RBBS-PC.EXE. Smaller, faster, minimal debugging.
Simply uncompress the first three files and follow the instruction in the
RBBS-PC documentation entitled, "Installing RBBS-PC for the First Time."
For those who have never operated an electronic bulletin board before,
we suggest getting Bantam Books' "The Complete Electronic Bulletin Board
Starter Kit" by Charles Bowen and David Peyton (ISBN 0-553-34552-4).
RBBS-PC's documentation is only a "reference" and is not nearly as good
a learning guide for new SYSOP's. However, the book only covers RBBS-PC
version 15.1C, and therefore does not cover new features. Version 17.3
is downward compatible with the system files of 15.1C.
Enjoy!
