How to install EchoManager:
start ECHOMGR.PRG and choose 'Configuration'. Please type in your
paths of your AREAS.BBS, DAREAS.BBS and CONFIG.JM path. If you
don't use a DAREAS.BBS file leave that line empty.
Besides there are some options:
- 'Save dialog positions': if selected the positions of all
dialogs will be added to your ECHOMGR.CFG file (made by
EchoManager).
- 'Show descriptions in area table': the argument of the 'Desc'
option will be shown in the area table.
- 'Don't write domains in AREAS.BBS': the link addresses
EchoManager write in your (D)AREAS.BBS file will be 4d (without
domain) if selected.
- 'Write distribution areas into AREAS.BBS': your distribution
areas (if you have some) will be written into the AREAS.BBS file.
Normally they are written into the DAREAS.BBS file, but obviously
there are systems that needs that option.
Besides you can define you key if you have one.
Now choose 'Save ECHOMGR.CFG', then 'Ok' and leave now the
programme by pressing 'Cancel'.
When you start EchoManager the next time, it should be ready
for use.
