Dear Sysops and Users,
A few notes:
MVBB.FON
We at Mohawk Software use Telemate v.4.12 for our personal
communication needs. This is a superb communications program
that is easy to use, and powerful. A new file called MVBB.FON
is included in the archive. This file may be copied into your
Telemate directory and opened in the dialing directory. This way
some time can be saved from keying in the entries.
ENTENDED.TXT
Sysops: A new file called EXTENDED.TXT is included which allows
you to submit to us an extended description of your bbs. This
description may be up to two pages (120 lines) in length. This way
users can obtain more information about your bbs.
MVBB CREATION:
MVBB has gone 21st century ;) . Instead of creating MVBB in the
TheDraw, Cory and I have put our heads together and programmed
an information database and compiler in Turbo Pascal that will
automate 90% of MVBB's creation (all we do manually is obtain the
info from sysops and type it into the information database).
DISTRIBUTION:
NOTE: You can receive MVBB automatically everytime it is released
by being on CFMMVBB (a dedicated file echo specifically for MVBB)
or being connected to the file echo BBSL_REG (see the Fidonet
Filebone for more information).
NOTE on CFMMVBB - All nodes that receive FidoNet in Net 2609 AND
in Net 260's Hub 500 are eligible to receive CFMMVBB; therefore,
if a nearby board on FidoNet doesn't carry this echo, it is due
to the Sysop's request not to carry the echo. The file volume
is EXTREMELY low... every copy of MVBB to date has been under 20k!
If you have any questions on CFMMVBB, contact Toby Marsh at 1:2609/14.
MVBB is always FREQable from 1:2609/14 under the "magic filename"
MVBB. Users can get MVBB from Catfish Mecca or any board that is on
MVBB Dist. (see MVBB for bbses on distribution).
SYSOP INFO FOR AUTOMATED BULLETINS:
MVBB's Archive is in the new format MV??????.ZIP. The ?????? is the
month, day, and year: ex. MV050194.ZIP is MVBB 5/01/94. The files
inside the archive such as MVBB.ANS, MVBB.ASC, & MVBB.TXT always have
the same file names for convience in automatically updating online
bulletins.
LOCAL CALLING PREFIXES:
There are 3 new files that replaced ROMEPREF.*; these are LOCPREF.*.
LOCPREF contains the same info as ROMEPREF except that it also
includes a Utica section (finally). All information is from the
phone book and I double checked it for accuracy; however, I'm not
responsible for any errors.
LASTLY:
One more thing, if the information on your board is incorrect or you
wish to be added to MVBB, feel free to let me know (preferably via
Fido Netmail), and I'll take care of it ASAP.
Cory is back! Nevertheless, I handle the "paper work", database
modification, hatching, updates, and etc. for MVBB. So please send
all modifications and additions to me. Cory and I work together on
the ideas and the programming necessary to keep MVBB up to date.
Thank you for your time.
The MVBB List Creators,
