For those converting from a WA7MBL system to BB.
------------------------------------------------
-- Verbose read is RH
-- BIDS are tested for messages that you have already killed. There is
no need to keep a bulletin if you don't want it. The BID.BB file keeps
track of all BIDs. Is has a certain number of entries that you set via
MAX_BID in PARMS.BB and is maintained by the GI command or CLEANUP_BID
wakeup call. You may have to experiment with this number to get the
desired number of days of retention. For example, 500 bids last about
15 days at my QTH. Each BID costs you 14 bytes of memory space
-- Bulletins are distributed via distribution lists. See DIS.DOC. If
you distribute bulletins to just one station, you should have a
distribution list anyway. This is the way BB determines what is a
bulletin and what isn't. A "P" type bulletin may be killed on forward
unless you have a distribution list.
