Dear fellow SYSOP,
The RBBS-EXT.ZIP file contains external protocol drivers for file
exchange. The files are separated by directory, and can be extracted
from the zip to different sub-directories with the command:
PKZIP -d RBBS-TXT.
The EXTernal protocol drivers distributed with RBBS consist of:
PCKERMIT.EXE - for KERMIT protocol
QMXFER.COM - for Ymodem, YmodemG, Imodem, and Xmodem
WXMODEM.COM - for windowed xmodem
Note: highly recommended, but not distributed with RBBS-PC, is
the external protocol driver DSZ from Omen Technologies.
These three files have been unchanged since RBBS-PC 16.1A.
The file RBBS-EXT.ZIP should normally not be distributed by itself
but as a part of RBBS-PC 17.3, which is distributed via three
mandatory and four optional standard "ZIP" files. Two files
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
Same as distributed for CPC16-1A-CPC17.2B
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 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!
