Author: Yaser Behbehani, Free Kuwait BBS, (965) 252-1974
P. O. Box 5845 Safat, Kuwait 13059!
Release date: 06-12-93
TB174V11 : 07-17-93
=======================================================================
Installation:
1- Merge the TAB174-1.MRG with RBBS/STUNY RBBS-PC.BAS 032493 version.
2- Merge the TAB174-2.MRG with RBBS/STUNY RBBSSUB5.BAS 032493 version.
Now, as we say always, it is better to merge by hand, especially if you
are running a different version of RBBS-PC.EXE
3- Next, Look for STMAKET1.ZIP bundled with this MERGE.
4- RUN MAKETABS against your SORTED FIDX.DEF to create FIDXT.DEF.
5- PLACE FIDX.DEF and FIDXT.DEF where RBBS expects them to be.
6- Enjoy!!

=========
I have 7 CD-ROMs Online, 90,000+ files, and 51 Categories! This
is why I wrote the LRGE174 Mod in the first place! I did not bother
with TABs since the delays I am experiencing are from the CD-ROMS
themselves, so TABbing will not do any better! Since I am fully
dedicated to my work, I hate to see such an incomplete Job! I sat
down today and wrote the whole MOD and TABMAKER.EXE in just a few hours.
It worked immediatelty for me.. I took my time and did the necessary
testings.. it passed! So if you experience any trouble, make sure your
FIDX.DEF file is sorted properly, and NO emebeded NULLS are in between which
might cause a problem in searching! Devide the # of bytes by 18 and see
if it gives you a fraction! If so, it is CORRUPT! If your FIDX is correct
then the TAB created by TABMAKER should also be correct! at least to my
knowledge! Check your Merges!
*** The references to TABMAKER above have been replaced with the modified
version of MAKETABS in the STMAKET1.ZIP file.
I Hope it works smootly for you.
Contact me if any problems!
