*** BYE-PC Version 3.00 ***

Well here it is! This is the first release of BYE-PC to the
public domain. I hope that it will provide some utility to as many
people as possible to further my programming efforts. This program
was originally distributed as a demo package of compiled versions in
hopes of generating a small profit.
Unfortunatly I only sold two copies in a years time after a one and
a half year development time. Please do not abuse the priveledge of
access to the source code.
The file COPYRGHT.DOC contains the copyright notice. If I find out
someone is taking advantage of the copyright agreement, I will take
action to prevent it. If you use this program on a regular basis and
it provides some utility, a user donation is recomended for support.
A donation of $30 dollars would greatly be appreciated.
** Setting Up the AUTOEXEC.BAT file **
* The AUTOEXEC.BAT file included on this disk is the proper way to
set up a system using BYE-PC. This will load the SHELL.EXE after
exiting to DOS to prevent unauthorized commands.
* Use DR (IBM Disk Repair or other disk editor) to modify the file
directory of this AUTOEXEC.BAT. You will need to change the attribute
from a 20h to a 27h for this file. This will prevent the AUTOEXEC.BAT
file from appearing in the directory when using the DIR command. The
DOS utility ATTRIB will not work here, since it only sets files to
read or write permission mode.
* Note the SHELL.EXE will not load unless you warm boot the system
and continue execution from the AUTOEXEC file. Use Alt-Ctrl-Del to
start call waiting, and to ensure the SHELL.EXE will load when
entering DOS.
* To compile BYExxx.ASM with the IBM Assembler, Linker, and EXE2BIN in
the current directory pathname, use the following command and provided
batch file to link with:
C>masm bye204;
C>com bye204;
C>ren bye204.COM BYE.COM
{for use with MASM 4.00 simply type}
C>MAKE BYE
BYE.COM is now ready for use and will load automatically after
booting provided the AUTOEXEC.BAT file is configured correctly
* Normally you will need to set up a XBBS system all within one
major subdirectory that SHELL.EXE prohibits access to. This prevents
users from entering the SYTEM and XBBS directories. A sample
disk directory structure should look as follows:
root a:\system\xbbs
|
|-- system --|
| |
xbbs dos
All XBBS system files should be placed in the \SYSTEM\XBBS directory
to prevent unauthorized access. Any DOS utilities should be placed
in the \SYSTEM\DOS directory prevent user access, but allow certain
DOS utilities to reside here (ADIR, ARC, Etc...).
