********************************
* MultiBBS/Deluxe Version 2.00 *
********************************
NACsoft.
Programmed by: Nick Chrzanowski
and Stephen Harper
Programmed in Borlands Turbo Pascal 6.0
Complied: February 21st/1993 4:22pm
-= IMPORTANT NOTICE:
There is another BBS splitting program going around also entitled
MultiBBS, this program was written by a certain Marc Kulak. It is in
no way associated with this program. NACsoft's version was written
around 3 months before Mr.Kulak's and he simply wrote his version
out of spite for NACsoft. Although his program seems to pose no threat
in any way to MultiBBS/Deluxe we do not want to be thought of as
partners to this child.
-= Introduction:
MultiBBS is a BBS splitting utility that allows the sysop to run
multiple BBS software packages from one single system. It runs on
an errorlevel generating basis therefore it requires very little
memory as it does not stay resident in memory.
-= System requirements:
An IBM PC or compatible computer with at least 128k on main board.
Two or more BBS programs currently set up.
A fossil driver loaded into memory.
A basic knowledge of editing batch files.
Patience.
-= Included files:
The following files should have been included in your MULTID20 archive
MULTI200.EXE - MultiBBS program.
MULTI200.DOC - This documentation.
INSTALL.EXE - MultiBBS installation program.
SUPPORT.DOC - List of support sites
If you are missing any of these files please contact your nearest support
board for a new archive
-= Disclamer
At the time of packaging this program contained NO viruses of any kind.
Nick Chrzanowski or anyone else involved with the creation of this program
cannot be held responsible for what it may do to your system.
-= Shareware concept
This product is distributed as SHAREWARE, meaning you may use this product
free of charge for a limit of 30 days. After this time period you must
either register this product or discontinue use.
Please support the shareware concept.
-= Installation
Run the program INSTALL.EXE, select INSTALL MULTIBBS from the main menu, the
rest is self explanatory.
-= Batch file configuration
MultiBBS runs on an errorlevel generating basis, meaning that when called
it will display the configured menu, wait for the user to select an option,
then depending on what the users choice was, generate the specified
errorlevel. This errorlevel can then be captured and used as a tag to
load certain programs.
The syntax for executing MultiBBS is as follows:
MULTI200.EXE <Comport>
For example, if your modem was on COM2 you would enter the following
MULTI200 2
Listed below is an example batch file. For this example MultiBBS was
configured to run two BBS packages (RemoteAccess and RoboBBS). It was
configured that if the user selected RemoteAccess MultiBBS would return
an errorlevel 99 and if the user selected RoboBBS it would return the
errorlevel of 100
-= Example Batch file:
:START
@echo off
c:
cd\fd
fd.exe
if ERRORLEVEL 200 goto 2400CALLER {The Errorlevels returned by FD depending
on baud rate detected}
if ERRORLEVEL 199 goto 1200CALLER { " " " " }
goto START
:2400CALLER { A 2400Caller is detected}
cd\fd
multi200 2 {Loads MultiBBS - Modem on COM2}
if ERRORLEVEL 100 goto ROBO2400 {User selected RoboBBS}
if ERRORLEVEL 99 goto RA2400 {User selected RemoteAccess}
goto START
:1200CALLER { a 1200caller is detected}
cd\fd
