INTER-BBS INSTRUCTIONS
(Using Sunrise-80 BBS as Your HUB)
(Can be used as a template for those that have set themselves up as HUBS)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
(1) Contact Al Lawrence (Sysop), VOICE, to obtain a unique NODE number. Do not
assign one yourself as duplicate numbers will mean your scores will not be
recognized. (NOTE: You would contact me ONLY if you want to use Sunrise-80
as your HUB, else contact your HUB).
(2) To Upload/Download files while logged on to the BBS:
a. Upload your YYYYYY0.xxx and/or YYYYYY1.xxx (YYYYYY = DoorName and
xxx=your assigned NODE number) file(s) to Sunrise-80 BBS. At the Main
Command prompt type:
U HIROLL0.xxx (xxx=your assigned NODE number). <- Score file
U HIROLL1.xxx (xxx=your assigned NODE number). <- Message file
When asked for a description enter:
/your BBS name - HIROLL INTERBBS FILE
You will receive a message from the BBS that the upload was unsuccessful
or something of that nature. Disregard it since all it means is that it
did not like the format you uploaded in (ie: it did not have a ZIP
extension).
NOTE: You can not ZIP up individual score files, but you CAN ZIP all your
individual score files and Message files into ONE ZIP file and
then upload that file, rather than individual files. If you chose
this option, you MUST use a filename of anyname.xxx, where
xxx=your node number. Be sure to let Al Lawrence know what you are
using for the ZIPPED file name, BEFORE you transmit for the first
time.
b. During the same call you would Download the latest consolidated door
score file and Message file (naming convention would be the same as
uploading an indvidual file (ie: Hiroll0.xxx and Hiroll1.xxx) with the
exception that the extension will ALWAYS be .001). If you wanted to
download ALL the .001 SCORE files, MESSAGE files and Monthly High Score
files, you would download a ZIPPED file named INTERBBS.ALL.
For Example: D HIROLL0.001
or
D INTERBBS.ALL
You would then run INTERBBS on your system to import the latest
consolidated file(s). Of course, you will first have to unZIP the
INTERBBS.ALL file and place the files in the directories that will
be referenced by the InterBBS.CFG files.
(3) If using a Front-End program to transfer files you can follow the
instructions above, with the exception of the SPECIFIC instructions that
pertain to logging on a BBS and uploading. You would instead send the
appropriate files and in the same session you would FREQ: INTERBBS.ALL
(4) On the first of the month you must ensure that your last score file, that
contains the final scores for the prior month, makes it to Sunrise-80 BBS
no later than 0930 EST. Failure to send by that time will mean that any
scores accumulated since your last transmission will not be figured into
the prior month's High Score calculation.
(5) Depending on the Door game, you must ensure that the following information
for each Door, is what is in the doors CFG file. Failure to have the same
values in the CFG file will result in the file being rejected.
(6) If you are using a FrontEnd Mailer, we have the ability to attach
individual files or the INTERBBS.ALL filet to a message and place it on
hold to be picked up or can be crashed to you, providing you are LOCAL to
our calling area.
See CFGVALUE.TXT that accompanies this file, for required CFG
entries that MUST be used when using Sunrise -80 as your HUB!!
