─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── ────────────── ╔══════════════════════════════════════════════╗ ─────────────── ────────────── ║ Emulex/2 v.2.11+ Information & Documentation ║ ─────────────── ────────────── ╚══════════════════════════════════════════════╝ ─────────────── ─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── Emulex/2 is designed and produced exclusively by Emulex Development. Sam Brown, Shadow Lord, and Desert Foxx. ─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── Emulex/2 is property soley of Emulex Development. Since we are such a private organization , many try to join or say they have joined. Emulex Development consists of Sam Brown, Shadow Lord, and Desert Foxx. We do not plan on taking any new members , so don't ask. If you are given any information from anyone who claims to be in Emulex other than the three listed above , do not listen, we have had problems in the past of people saying they were a part of Emulex, and we don't want or need anymore problems. CRC's are gone, don't make us put them back. ─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── Preface - The History of Emulex ------------------------------- Emulex first began in 1986 when Sam Brown began to tinker with Forum PC source code and learn TP, the bbs went through many names before being called Emulex. Since Sam Brown was the first to modify Forum PC to the extent that he did, natrually he got alot of slack from people. Emulex was in it's 2.xx versions back then, then it became Emulex 3.00 when TP 4.0 was introduced. Emulex has always been famous for it's firsts among the IBM BBS software world. But back to the story. When Sam moved to Georgia, he lost everything, Emulex source,all that he had was an old Emulex 2.91 source written under TP 3.0. So he had to basically start all over again. Thus became Emulex/2, which was written under TP 5.0 to start with. Emulex/2 went up to 1.66 then Sam became bored with it, that is when I (Shadow Lord) came into the picture , I had been writing Ghost Ship. Sam had been helping me along the way but I never really put enough work into it to make anything out of it. So Sam and I decided to merge our source codes and make Emulex/2 v2.00, that gave us a new birth and new things to work on. Emulex is currently written under Turbo Pascal 5.5. I am writing this doc file since I can explain things better then Sam , and no one really has ever tried to write documentation for such a complex program before , and not many people know the true story about Emulex. -Scott ─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── Intro - Introduction to Emulex/2 2.00 ------------------------------------- Emulex/2 is a very fast and powerful bbs program featuring everything from 2 way protocols to TRUE 38.4k bps support for fast modems. This documentation isn't going to be very well written, I am a programmer and we all know all of us have bad grammer (and foul language!). I will start by explaining how to setup your config, then explain how to set up the bbs itself. Then I will give detailed explaination of some of the odd parts of the bbs. (Bimodem, Blacklists, Group Access, etc) ─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── Table of Contents ----------------- Preface - History of Emulex Intro - Introduction to Emulex/2 2.00 Part I - Setting up your computer for Emulex Part II - Setting up your config Part III - Setting up the bbs itself Part IV - Text Files Part V - BiModem Part VI - Group Access Files Part VII - Thanks to.. ─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── Part I - Setting up your computer for Emulex -------------------------------------------- This section explains the first step to setting up emulex. You must first prepare your computers HD for emulex. First you need a directory for Emulex to reside in. Call it whatever you want (ie. Emulex). You are also going to need a directory for BiModem, Msg Bases, Menus, Doors, etc. But the config will make those for you since you don't know what you want to call them yet. Don't forget Emulex requires a PC with 640k or more and a hard drive, so if you have 512k, it might work, I am not really sure, I have 640k. You must then unzip the misc.zip and the emuxxxx.zip files in the main bbs directory. If you want to create a directory for menus too, then unzip the menus and textfiles in that directory. You should have the following files in your main bbs directory. DSZ.COM PKZIP.EXE PKUNZIP.EXE COMMAND.COM PUMA.EXE JMODEM.COM Those are all reqd for Emulex to operate fully. ─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── Part II - Setting up your config -------------------------------- Ok, before you can even run the bbs you must run the configuration program. Just type C>config <CR>. Then enter all the information it wants, make sure all the directories you put in exist or else emulex will not work. I will run through the current config for 2.11 and explain what each this means. Config Term Meaning / What it wants ------------------------------------------------------- Board name, Long The name of your bbs system Board name, Short An shorter version of above Sysop name Your name Sysop auto-login Local logons are automaticlly the sysop Path to message base Path to Message Base files Path to board files Path to Data Base and other misc files Path to G-Files Path to the G-Files Section Path to text files Path to Menus, etc Path to door files Path to door files Path to Bimodem Path to BiModem (must be seperate!)

EmuMail Time Time when EmuMail is send (see echomail.doc) Your Phone # BBS's phone # (see echomail.doc) Extender Prefix for dialing (see echomail.doc) Level For Emumail Level reqd to send emumail (see echomail.doc) Allow Matrix Feedback Allow users to leave matrix feedback Matrix Time Limit Time limit for logging into the matrix ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Ok, those are all the options as of 2.11 and that should give you a better idea of what config wants for those options. ─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── Part III - Setting up the bbs itself ------------------------------------ Ok, now that you have done parts I & II, you can type RUNBBS or EMULEX to run emulex, if you've done everything right, it will ask you to create the message base stuff, tell it Y]es, then it should setup the modem, then you should get the waiting for caller screen! Here are the commands available from the waiting for caller screen. F1 - Terminal Program F2 - Drop to Dos (Quit) F3 - Send Carrier (Send ATA <CR> to modem) F4 - Read Feedback F5 - Sysop Commands (All the main menu sysop utils) F9 - Force Net-Mail Send F10 - Logon Locally Ok, you should press F10 to logon. If you have SysOp AutoLogin it will log you on, otherwise, it will ask you for your name and password. You are User #1, and your password is "Sysop". (Defaults) You can then just wonder around the bbs, and whatever hasn't been created, it will ask you if you want to create it. The bbs basically does everything itself. Ok, after you have done all this, the bbs is ready to go. But make sure you have changed your password on your account! ─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── Part IV - Text Files -------------------- There are many text files that Emulex uses, many are just to be printed out, (ie. Help Files), but others tell Emulex what to do. I will give a list of text files, and where they are located. These are all ASCII files that can be edited with any text editor. Located in MENUS/TEXT Directory ------------------------------- Goodbye - Printed when a user logs off the bbs Infoform - Printed when a new user logs on. You can ask questions and put a * in when you want an input from the user. Newuser - Printed when a new user logs on. You can tell him the rules and such of your bbs Nicetry - Printed when a user fails to logon correctly Prelogon.bbs - Printed just after the user clears the matrix. Private - Printed when a new user applies on a private system. Raisereq - Printed when a user requests a raise. Summon - Printed when a user tries to chat. Timesup - Printed when a user runs out of time. Welcome.1-99 - Ramdon ANSI welcome files. Trashcan - Printed when a user with -1 tries to logon. Located in the MAIN BBS Directory --------------------------------- Black.lst - Contains the names of people who are blacklisted and can not logon to your bbs. Fnames.lst - Contains a list of files that can not be downloaded, added, uploaded, or changed. You can protect, Users, Config.bbs, and many other things with this, but be sure you have it protect itself. ─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── Part V - BiModem ---------------- BiModem is a Full Duplex protocol that is very powerful, yet very dangerous if it is configured wrong. It probly won't even work if you configure it wrong. A BIMODEM.CFG is included with MISC.ZIP, so I will tell you the only mods you need to make to have bimodem safe and working. If you can't find BIMODEM.CFG that came with Emulex, then don't install Bimodem, I am not responsible for what happens if you don't use my .CFG file. There are only 2 Lines of the BiModem Config that you must change. BiModem Paths File X:\EMULEX\BIMDM.PTH X= Drive Letter EMULEX= Your MAIN EMULEX directory BiModem Log File X:\EMULEX\BIMODEM.LOG X= Drive Letter EMULEX= Your MAIN EMULEX directory Ok, that will make a safe and well working bimodem, if you have BiModem in a seperate directory from the main emulex stuff, and you use the .CFG that is provided with Emulex. ─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── Part VI - Group Access Files ---------------------------- Emulex offers three types of access restrictions. They are Group, Level, or Both. Both means that it can be level or group access. Level is obvious, but Group is the complex one. When you define a file area, or msg base as having group access, you must also define a file that holds the names of the people who will have access to that base. So Lets say you create a message base and call the group access file Krad.lst, you then put the names of all the people who you want to have access to that sub into that file. It is NOT case sensetive, so don't worry. This is just an ASCII file that you can edit with any text editor. ─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── Part VII - Thanks to.. ---------------------- We would like to thank the following, for if it wasn't for most of these people Emulex might not be here today..
