Upgrading TriBBS 3.3 to 4.0
This document provides instructions for upgrading a TriBBS 3.3
bulletin board to TriBBS 4.0 compatibility.
1) Backup your entire MWORK directory!!!! The TB33TO40.EXE conversion
program takes awhile to run and if it should be interrupted (by say a
power failure, etc.) you will not be able to perform the conversion
unless you have a backup of your 3.3 files.
2) Copy all of the new EXE files over all existing 3.3 versions.
3) Run TB33TO40.EXE from your node 1's main directory. Depending on
the number of users your board has and the size of the message base
the conversion process will take some time to complete. So please be
patient.
4) Remove the following line from your SYSOP.MNU files:
K,Pack User File,security level
5) Copy the new FSCREEN.BBS and TCHAT.BBS into your DISPLAY directory.
6) Either remove or upgrade to 4.0 compatible versions of TriBBS-
related utilites and doors. Do NOT under any circumstances try to run
a pre-4.0 utility or door that accesses the message base or private
file area flags. If you're not sure if a utility or door will work
with 4.0, do NOT use it!
7) You should now be all set to run you new TriBBS 4.0 system. Have
fun! :)
