- Addendum to original documentation
- by
- Ed Curlin [PPN 72065,177]
-
- I have made a few changes in the TPBBS program that is found in the XA0 database
- of the CPM SIG. This document will alert you to the changes made.
-
- For more comprehensive reading, read the original document file.
-
- TPBBS is distributed as a collection of inter-related files. Each file in the
- collection is required to properly set-up and operate the Turbo Pascal Bulletin
- Board System. The files have been renamed to comply with the CompuServ filename
- format ( 6 letter filenames ). You will have to change the names back to their
- original wording before you can compile and run this system
-
- New Name Old Name Description
- -------- -------- -----------
- TPBS10.DOC TPBBS.DOC original documentation by James Whorton
- TPBS10.PAS TPBBS.PAS main program of the 1.0 version
- TPMS10.INC TPMESG.INC message subsystem
- TPFN10.INC TPFUNC.INC routines needed by the BBS
- TPMENU.PAS TPMENU. BBS main menu file
- TPIN10.PAS TPINIT.PAS BBS Initialization file
- TPUT10.PAS TPUTIL.PAS Sysop's utility program
-
- After you download the files, change the names using 'REN'. If this is not done
- before compiling the TPBBS system, Turbo Pascal will not be able to find the
- 'INClude' files.

- INSTALLATION OF TPBBS
- ---------------------
-
- As originally written, TPBBS was two separate programs. The main program was
- TPBBS.COM, and there was a separate messaging system in TPMESG.CHN. I have
- changed that so there is only one program required for the system. (aside from
- TPINIT and TPUTIL). This has reduced the amount of diskspace required from 32K
- to 26K. Also, it decreases the run time and causes less wear and tear on the
- disk drives.
-
- TPBBS.PAS
- First you must compile TPBBS.PAS into a .COM file. Put a copy of Turbo Pascal
- into drive <A>, and load it. Into drive <B>, put your copy of TPBBS.PAS,
- TPFUNC.INC, and TPMESG.INC. Now log onto drive <B>, enter the main file name as
- TPBBS. Choose the Options and set the parameters to .Com file, and Quit. Now
- enter C to compile the program.
-
-
- TPMESG.PAS
- The documentation on installing TPMESG.PAS is voided. You will not need to do
- that portion of the original documentation.
-
-
- TPINIT.PAS
- No changes made to this installation procedure. Follow the original
- documentation for installing and initializing your system.
