- 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! :)
