Update help for BBSERV.EXE (c) 1991 Freeman M. Crosby W1NPR (SRQLAN)
1.You do not have to take the BBS off the air to set up BBSERV !
2.Copy all the files on the distribution disk to your "BB" directory or your
;bbserv_dir = path. directory you will define in parms.bb
3.Edit parms.bb with the EF command, Run SETSERVE.EXE with EX DOS SETSERVE
4.Follow instructions & help in SETSERVE.EXE & then run it. Good luck !
So far we have had no problems reported except cockpit errors from the users
SETSERVE.EXE has been modified to check for errors in your setup that might
cause trouble.
****************************************************************************
One poorly documented fact is you MUST have the subdirectory_ok = NO in any
public directory used for both REBBS & BBSERV data in parms.bb .
This won't cause an error but users will be able to get to the "OWNERS"
section of this database.
****************************************************************************
Newer versions allow the BBSERV files to all be in their own subdirectory
disk or whatever path you set in the ;bbserv_dir = path command
Put all the files on the disk it this directory & run setserve.exe from
this directory and the only file in the "BB"default will be bbserv.set
which is created by setserve to configure the server.
Look at the latest READ.ME file for the latest updates
