There are essentially only two functions that Labtest performs
which require interfacing with the host bulletin board system.
Writing messages to the message base and updating file
information in the file data base.
The supported message bases are: GoldBase, Jam, Squish, Fido
*.MSG, Hudson and PCBoard message systems. You may configure
Labtest to write to any of these message bases, regardless of the
BBS software you are using. LTsetup does not read your BBS
system files, all information is gathered from LTsetup.
Labtest currently only supports the RemoteAccess 2.xx file
database, PCBoard DIR listings, and the FILES.BBS system.
FILES.BBS is a text file containing file names and descriptions
for each of the files on your system. Labtest will update these
files with the new file name after conversion, the contents of
the FILE_ID.DIZ and some other information.
Using Labtest without a BBS or on a BBS not supported
You may use Labtest even if you do not have a BBS by
selecting FILES.BBS as your system type. By specifying
FILES.BBS Labtest will create and maintain a FILES.BBS file
in any of the directories it is processing files in. This
is a file which contains the filenames and descriptions of
each file in the directory. For example, if you run Labtest
on your C:\UPLOADS directory, Labtest will create or update
a FILES.BBS description file in that directory. You may run
Labtest directly from your BBS while the user is online by
selecting FILES.BBS as your system type, and installing
Labtest as described above for ProBoard 2.xx.
Supporting Other BBS Software
We have every desire to support as many bulletin board
systems as feasible. If you would like to see direct
support for your system, please send us the data file format
structures and, if possible, the distribution archive of the
software. We will analyze the system and determine if
adding support is possible. You may forward the information
to our address listed in the User's Guide. We appreciate and
solicit your comments and requests for improvements!
