- My Systen and Setup
-
- I run BinkleyTerm Version 2.56/QuickBBS 2.75 under Desqview 2.42, on a
- 386 25Mh computer with 8 Meg of memory. My board has only one line, I
- have QuickBBS set up with two nodes, one is Local.
-
- This is the way I use QRFM here.
-
- a. I run QRFM in a DesqView Window.
- b. I run QRFMFLst nightly, It Imports Uploads into the Data Base, rebuilds
- Files.BBS lists and produces File Lists for download.
- c. Once a day I review uploads, Virus Check them and Edit descriptions
- if they need it. Many times I use DesqView to capture descriptive info
- from the files docs and paste it into the description. If you use
- DesqView's Transfer feature, use T and R for the transfer as transfering
- it all with enter won't work because of the carriage returns.
- d. When I have time I BackUp files to Floppy or mark the file as Backup
- Not Required.
- e. As space on my hard drive gets tight, I take files offline, using the
- description, file date and number of downloads as an aid in deciding
- what go's.
- f. I run SrchDoor as a QuickBBS type 7 Door I have my board divided into
- three areas Main Board, Art Conference, Programmers Conference. In
- each area I use SrchDoor parameters to limit search access only to
- files in the that area of interest.
- g. Users leave me a message if they need a offline file and it's back
- on line in a one easy step.
-
- My system has over 7,000 at this time about half are only available
- offline. The biggest problem is over the years I have accumulated
- about 700 5 1/2" floppies all formated to 720k. I have started buying
- 1.2Meg floppies as I have found a source that charges 32 cents each.
