- This is MUBBS V1.1.2 !
-
- The ".2" means this is a "interm" release for NEW SYSOPS JUST SETTING
- UP A NEW BBS.
-
- It's the SAME as V1.1 except for the "userlist" files, "sysop", "E-mail",
- and "serial" modules. (all updates that happened after V1.1)
-
- I added the new "Chat" module, and updated "bbslist" and added "wishlist"
- just for fun.
-
- The MUBBS Application is the SAME as V1.1 !
-
- There was a change in the way we read the userlist after V1.1 was
- released, so I made up this version so that you don't have to go
- through the "update process" if you have just started a BBS.
- (all your users will log in as "new" anyway)
-
- Even though this program is set up to run as-is....
-
- THIS IS NOT A "CLICK IT AND I'M A SYSOP" MAC SIMPLE TYPE APPLICATION !!
-
- As a matter of fact, there's NO BBS PROGRAM that will EVER be available
- that you can just click on it and go away. Being a Sysop takes lots
- of TIME AND EFFORT, so don't think this is gona be easy. You could pay
- $3000 for a BBS program, but you will still have to spend the SAME
- amount of time setting it up!
-
- You are about to become a "Sysop" of a BBS. Setting up a BBS is
- NEVER a simple thing, there's too many variables involved. You
- want your BBS to look different in your own way, you are
- using a different modem, different modules, etc...
-
- The INSTRUCTIONS for MUBBS can be located by running the Application
- "MUBBS Tools" then look under the "Apple" menu.
-
- "MUBBS Quick Start Manual" (a MacWrite file), is provided to get
- you going quickly but it DOESN'T TELL YOU EVERYTHING!
-
- USE "JolliWrite" TO EDIT FILES! (that you are allowed to modify)
- It works very well. If you use "TeachText" or "Word" it might
- cause problems!
-
- THE MAC SCREEN IS SLOW ON A MAC PLUS, but don't worry, the users
- get FAST FAST stuff!!
-
- TAKE OUT THOSE STUPID INIT's !!!!! (start with a NEW system too!)
-
- If you have the "COMM TOOLBOX" mickey mouse upgrade for 6.0.7
- installed you need to install a NEW SYSTEM to get rid of it.
-
- ******************************************************************
- THIS IS NOW SET TO OPERATE FROM THE MAC SCREEN ONLY!!!!!
-
- Use "MUBBS Tools" to set the user number to 2 for a single line
- operation (1 modem and 1 Mac screen = 2 users).
- ******************************************************************
-
-
- The MODEM STRINGS are set up for a "basic" Hayes compatable modem.
- THEY ARE LIMITED and we ARE NOT using "Hardware Carier Detect" !!!
-
- YOU MUST USE HARDWARE CARRIER DETECT before your BBS gets popular!
- (again, read the docs here when you are ready for this)
-
- There are GOOD reasons for carrier detect!!, read the docs for more
- detail. Your modem cable MAY not be the right one.
-
- You MAY need to change the modem strings if your modem is not
- exactly Hayes compatable! (like using just "ATH" instead of "ATH0").
