Quick setup for BBserv.EXE (c) 1990-1991 by F. M. Crosby W1NPR
=============================================================================
This setup procedure will let you get BBserv going to try it out very
quickly & easily. This setup may be expanded on as you wish only by
adding database directories & rerunning SETSERVE.EXE
==============================================================================
1.Copy all the .EXE, .HLP, .REP, .TRL files from the distribution disk to
to any directory you wish like c:\bs\ or your "BB" default directory.
Make sure whatever one you put them in is the one ;bbserv_dir = points to !
You may run the BBserv.exe program from your "BB" default & just put all
the other files in the bbserv_dir, This makes calling it up easier (no path)
2.Enter the following lines at the top of PARMS.BB as follows EXACTLY !
including comment markers ;
;server_name = bbserv
;bbserv_dir = c:\bs\ (or whatever you have all the bbserv files in)
;dir srv = c:\srv\
;dis srv = Files related to the developement of BBSERV.EXE
;dio srv = W1NPR
3. Create the directory as stated c:\srv\
4. From the directory you have setserve.exe in, run setserve.exe
5. Tell setserve.exe where you have "BB" use all defaults,
enter "Y" when asked to check directories.
6. Enter at the BBS command line (V2.11) EL (Path) BBSERV.EXE
(Path) is the place you put bbserv.exe like C:\bs\BBSERV.EXE
7. After server runs the first time it will be all set up (First time is long)
8. You can then try a message to BBSERV sp BBSERV Subject? DU
9. Enter at the BB command line (V2.11+) EL (Path) BBSERVE.EXE
10. If all goes well there should be a message for you on your BBS from
the server.
11. If you got this far OK you are home free, Now add whatever database
directories you want following the same format as the one set up for
the server. You may place the server directory anywhere you want as
long as you call it srv & leave W1NPR as "OWNER" or if you don't want
it updated then just leave it out, make another "OWNER" etc. Max is
50 databases.
See the "SHADOW" & "OWNER" doc files for additional types of databases.
12. Edit all the .TRL (trailer) and .REP (Reply files to suit yourself)
13. I would recommend reading over the other HLP files & docs to get the
most from the server.
14. This is a revision of the previous method of all BBSERV files being
in the default directory. Look at the READ.ME file in this .ZIP for
the latest updates.
15. Good luck, 73 free W1NPR >>
