The TriBBS Bulletin Board System 8
files, event data files, and temporary caller logs. The DISPLAY
directory holds display screens: log on screens, goodbye screen,
bulletins, door bulletins, custom menu screens, etc. The TRANSFER
directory is used to temporarily hold files during file transfers.
The TTTEMP directory is used by TriBBS to hold transient files and
data.
The Menu Configuration Files
----------------------------
TriBBS uses a series of menu configuration files to generate menu
displays on the fly. If you do a directory listing of your main
TriBBS directory, you will note that TriBBS came with a number of
files with the extension of MNU. These are the menu configuration
files and must be placed in your NWORK subdirectory for TriBBS to
function properly. Moving these files to the NWORK subdirectory and
deleting them from main TriBBS directory can be accomplished with the
following two commands:
COPY *.MNU NWORK
DEL *.MNU
The Help Display Screens
------------------------
Included in the TriBBS archive are a couple of help screens which must
be moved into your DISPLAY subdirectory. Moving these files to the
DISPLAY subdirectory and deleting them from the main TriBBS directory
can be accomplished with the following two commands:
COPY *.BBS DISPLAY
DEL *.BBS
The Default Language File
-------------------------
Included in the TriBBS archive is the default language file,
LANGUAGE.001. You need to copy this file into your MWORK directory as
follows:
COPY LANGUAGE.001 MWORK
DEL LANGUAGE.001
Modifying BOARD.BAT
-------------------
The next step in getting a minimal TriBBS system up and running is to
make any necessary modifications to a batch file called BOARD.BAT.
