Note: 3.42.P30
There is a major change in the way Citadel does things... This version has
several new files that need to be installed in your system.
1) cit_messages.sys
This file contains the messages used by Citadel. about 90% of the
messages are in this file. You can customize the messages. The
file included has cit:helps as the location of several help files
so check to see that everything is correct for your system.
This file goes in the #MSGAREA directory. The file format is
included as comments in this file. All the extra files in the
archive named *.MSG also go in this area. On my BBS, the area
is called "CIT:GENERAL/", this directory contains these files.
2) BADUSERS.SYS and BADPASSWORDS.SYS are files that are checked when a
user is creating their account. You may use the files included in
the archive or make your own. If you do not put these files in
the room area, Citadel will not check User names and Password
for validity except to make sure the password is at leas 5 chars
long and not a duplicate of someone elses.
3) The VORTEX checking is on by default. If you do not wish it, you
must use the "-vortex" option on the command line. If you have the
"+vortex" it will have no effect.
4) +netlog and +netdebug are now more effective and if you do not
specify either one, Citadel will be very silent during a net session.
+netdebug messages will give alot more detail and if you want
+netdebug, you should also specify +netlog.
***Legal-ease***
Citadel 68K and Amiga Citadel are trademarks of this Citadel BBS program
and may not be used for other variants. This software is FREEWARE and
may not be distributed on any system that claims a copyright. If you have
specific questions about the use and rights to this software, contact me
on The Amiga Zone (609) 953-8159. ***This product is not for resale***.
You may not include Citadel or Citadel related files in any collection
sold for a profit without my express written permission. Source for the
Amiga Citadel is 100% public domain and available for downloading.
If someone sold you a copy of this program, please let me know, it is not
for sale. The only exception is the Aminet and Fred Fish CD collections.
Those collections may re-distribute this program and the related utilities.
No commercial collection may distribute this program nor may any system
attempt to copyright these works just because someone uploaded it to that
system.
There are utilities, See the archive listing.
If you are starting from scratch and have never run a Citadel before. You
need to grab the support and help files. These files are on the C86 Test
system and the Amiga Zone. Please download them from there. Start with the
latest version of Citadel 68K. Read the 68K.man file.
If you are interested in doors, The Amiga Zone has several that will run
with Citadel 68K. Any CLI based program will be able to run as a door
so long as it uses only standard I/O(i.e. getchar(), printf, ect.).
If you have a bug to report, Please use the Citadel 68K room and prefix the
report with:
***bug report*** Version 3.42.xx.
Please include your phone number of your BBS. I may want to call to chat.
or pick up a file or two to reproduce your bug. A list of Citadels is at
the end of this file, there are probably more than those listed, but I
collect this information from the vortex detector and these are active
Citadels.
I am working on current problems and will post new versions as they become
tested. Currently, distribution is on the following Systems. Obviously,
I will have it on the Amiga Zone first.
The Amiga Zone (609) 953-8159
Images (612) 884-7951
Last Rose of Summer (612) 946-6919
C86 Test System (612) 470-9635
The Amiga Annals (315) 342-3459
Note: other systems will also have the latest version, I am hoping to get
a system in each state(eventually). If you wish to have me post a version
in your area, send me some mail on C86 Test System or call the Amiga Zone
directly. As always, the Amiga Zone will have it first and a message will
be posted to the Citadel 68K room when a new version is available.
In this version, you can set the stack to anything larger than 8K
and Citadel will run. Anything less and it will stop. I use a stack of
30K in my testing because my compiler needs it. CTDL now does not set
it's stack, you have to do it. Citadel does not require more than about
6K of stack during it's operation. You can always see what your Citadel
needs with the SYSOP menu item "I"nformation.
It also does not detach from the shell/cli it is started from.
You have to use "run <nil: >nil: ctdl" to do that. I leave the window
open for any error messages. In the future, I may have it detach, but
for now, I would rather it have a consistant and safe place to start from.
You can create a short script like:
failat 100
mount ctdlaux: ;With 2.04 you can setup ctdlaux: to automount!
stack 20000 ; Citadel only uses about 3K in my testing.
date >>cit:log/report
cd cit:
if not exists ctdltabl.sys
echo "Citadel configuring, ctdltabl.sys not found" >>cit:log/report
confg onlyparam >>cit:log/last_config
endif
copy cit:ctdltabl.sys cit:log/ctdltabl.sys
run ctdl zmodem=Z +netdebug +vortex +netlog >>cit:log/report
echo "Citadel startup" >>cit:log/report
and use it to startup Citadel. This is my startup routine.
Please post a comment in the Citadel 68K room when you start running this
version. I would like to have at least your BBS number and general location.
Known Bug List: 3.42
All bugs are fixed in the current version. Please report any
new ones in the nearest Citadel 68K room. Utilities are in sad shape,
I plan to spend some time updating them in the near future.
The only known bug is that the XPR support(internal to Citadel) is
broken.
You will eventually need utiltites, and probably want Zmodem. Grab them
as you need them. Make sure your read this file and 68K.man BEFORE you
start, it will save you time and effort.
If you use these files, remember that they are FREEWARE. You do not have
to send anyone a donation(although none have been refused) to anyone. If
you wish help, find a Citadel with the Citadel 68K room, or call one of
the BBS numbers above. This is a project that is solely for the advancement
of networking and communications. Enjoy it. The only restriction I would
place on you is that you may not make commercial use of this program, sell
it, or make people pay in anyway for it's use. If you charge your users
a small fee for the use of your system, you must contact me and get approval.
Some of the functions are based on shareware programs(like LHA). These
programs are not free. You should send the shareware fee to the author
for your use with your BBs.
Pay BBS's may use these programs only after they have this approval. This
is a copyrighted work. All rights are reserved by the people responsible
for maintaining this code. It belongs solely to them. If you have
questions feel free to contact me by posting a message in the Citadel 68K
room. If you wish me to send you a set of disks with all the above files,
I will do so, but it will cost you $25 for the disks, postage, and my time.
It is free to download from any of the above BBS locations. It should not
be more than 3 880K disk. The Amiga Citadel is available on the mirrored
ftp site: wuarchive.wustl.edu for those with FTP access and Portal. In
the future, I will post all the files related to Citadel on those sites.

The following systems are Citadels and may be used post messages. This
List is reasonably current. You best bet is to call the Amiga Zone for the
latest information. You will find the Citadel 68K room or Amiga room.
These systems all net with The Amiga Zone with one or more rooms.
This list is generated with the vortex detection utility, if your system
is not listed, post a test seed in a shared room and eventually it will
appear(Rooms:Amiga, Citadel 68K, or CitaNews).
