The TriBBS Bulletin Board System 9
Although TriBBS will run by simply executing BBS.EXE at the DOS
prompt, it will not be able to properly run events and doors without
being executed by BOARD.BAT. Consequently, you should always start up
your BBS by entering the following at the DOS prompt:
BOARD
As we said though, BOARD.BAT may need to be modified. The following
is a listing of BOARD.BAT:
echo off
cd \tribbs
if exist door.bat del door.bat
if exist event.bat del event.bat
if exist endbbs del endbbs
bbs
if exist door.bat door
if exist event.bat event
if exist endbbs goto end
board
:end
Note how the second line of BOARD.BAT changes the current directory to
the TriBBS's main directory. If your TriBBS setup uses a different
directory other than "\tribbs", you will have to use some type of a
text editor to make the appropriate change.
Getting TriBBS to Run on Boot Up
--------------------------------
You will want your TriBBS system to automatically start up whenever
your computer reboots. This can be accomplished by performing two
simple modifications to your AUTOEXEC.BAT file. First of all, you
should modify or create a SET PATH or PATH command to include your
main TriBBS directory. At the end of your AUTOEXEC.BAT file, you
should put the command BOARD. That way DOS will automatically run
TriBBS each time the computer is rebooted. The following is a sample
AUTOEXEC.BAT file before it has been modified to automatically start
up TriBBS:
@ECHO OFF
PROMPT $p$g
PATH C:\DOS;C:\WINDOWS;C:\QEMM;C:\ZIP
The following is the same AUTOEXEC.BAT file after the appropriate
changes have been made to it for TriBBS:
@ECHO OFF
PROMPT $p$g
PATH C:\TRIBBS;C:\DOS;C:\WINDOWS;C:\QEMM;C:\ZIP
