Notes for BBS Operators
With this release we have provided "files.bbs" PCBoard format files
in two formats. In each directory you will find the files
"files.bbs" and "files.bbd". "files.bbs" contains the Windows 95
style DOS 8.3 aliases using "~" and numbers in the filename.
"files.bbd" contains filenames truncated to 8.3 format. Depending on
the OS you are using for your BBS software and the CD-ROM drivers you
will see one or the other style name. Use whichever matches what you
see when you do a "dir" of the CD directories.
In addition we have provided the "raw" input for these files as
<dirname>.txt in each directory. Hopefully if our "files.bb?" files
don't work for you, you will be able to fiddle these raw files to
match the needs of your BBS system.
We will also be making other format files available on our FTP server
(ftp.infomagic.com) as helpful SYSOPS provide them to us.
Each disc also has a file "index.txt" in its root directory that
lists the directories and their descriptions for that CD.
If you have suggestions on other files we can provide that would help
with the use of these CD's on BBS systems, please notify
