VBBS 6.11 Documentation -- 2-R-1
╔════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗
║ CHAPTER TWO ANNEX R H. VBBS DIAGNOSTICS ║
╚════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝
This useful feature helps you look for problems in your
setup; with any luck, if you've followed the instructions this
far, you won't have any problems. If you DO receive an error
message upon running VBBS, chances are this program will point
out where the problem is.
╔═╗ It's also a good idea to run the diagnostics if you've
╚═╝ made any changes in the PATHS configuration, just to make
sure VBBS can find everything it needs to run properly.
If you get a "Path Missing" error, especially when the
diagnostics are checking the file transfer areas, the
most probable explanation is that the database has been
set up in VCONFIG, but the DOS directory for that data-
base does not exist yet. If this is the case, you need
to create that database's directory in DOS.

That just about does it for VCONFIG. If your system is
like most, you'll find that you spend a lot of time using this
program -- adding new databases, changing various settings, and
whatnot. VCONFIG is one of the features that makes VBBS unique
among BBS softwares -- it presents the sysop with a multitude of
options with regard to BBS presentation and operation.
