- To get an idea of how BBBBS looks, without the need for Baud Bandit,
- (you WILL need the ARexx and rexx-arp libraries listed in BBBBS.doc,
- and at least 1.5 MEGS of RAM. DON'T FORGET THE LIBS OR IT WON'T WORK!),
- Open a CLI (or Shell), and type the following;
-
- CLI 1> CD RAM:
- CLI 1> lharc -x x BBBBS53.lzh
- CLI 1> assign BBS: RAM:
- CLI 1> CD RAM:rexx
- CLI 1> rx bbsLOCAL SETUP
-
- This last command runs the sysop "LOCAL" version of the BBS in "SETUP"
- mode which creates any needed directories.
-
- When it asks for your name enter "sysop".
- When it asks for your password enter "password".
-
- From that point on you will be seeing the BBS as the user sees it with
- the addition of all the super-sysop commands. To see which is which,
- read "BBBBS.COMMANDS" in the Information section ("i" from the menu).
- For more detailed command information, instructions on how to install,
- and general operating instructions, read "BBBBS.doc" in the same area.
-
- Now, logoff, type "rx bbsLOCAL", but this time enter "test name", and
- observe how a new user signs up. If your test user uploads no files, and
- writes no messages, (email is ok), there will be no record of his having
- been there after you sign on (as sysop again) and [K]ill "TEST_NAME".
-
- bbsLOCAL.rexx is almost exactly equal to BBBBS.baud with some obvious
- exceptions (uload and dload use the arp file requester), and "quick"
- logoff (no prompt for feedback).
-
- To use the spellchecker that comes with this BBS, extract into your BBS
- directory and edit the CONFIG.BBS file;
-
- CLI 1> CD BBS:
- CLI 1> lharc -x x SpellBBS.LZH
-
- Note that Gramma's BBS is using the latest version of this very software!
