[ASM-READ.ME] Feb 11, 1990
Dear fellow SYSOP,
RBBS-PC is proud to be one the few bulletin programs that releases
source code. This is the read me file for the ASSEMBLER source code
for RBBS-PC version 17.3. It should be a part of RBBS-ASM.ZIP,
containing the following files:
SOURCE\*.ASM Assembler source
SOURCE\*.OBJ Assembler OBJ files to be linked with compiled
Basic code.
Note: the authors of RBBS have all assembler source but in some
cases cannot distribute it publically. This is true, for example,
of FOSSCOMM, which is a shareware program which has given RBBS-PC
the right to distribute the OBJ but not the source.
This file is part of a larger set of files and should not 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!
