This guide is a shortened version of the installation
instructions you will find in the manual, ROBOT.DOC. If
you read this and get confused, stop and read the manual.
This guide is directed towards the self-proclaimed "POWER SYSOP"
who does not believe in RTFMology. I strongly recommend, however,
that if all you do is read this to get going, please print out
the manual, ROBOT.DOC, and read it some day when you are
stranded at your in-law's with nothing to do... :)
Step 1 - Install Software
Create a directory or sub-directory (it doesn't matter where
or on what drive) off of your \ROBOFX directory. I recommend:
C:\ROBOFX\ROBOT
Move all of the files which came with the original archive to
that directory.
Step 3 - Set up RoboBOARD/FX's NEWUSER.PLT
Add the following line to your \ROBOFX\ENGLISH\TEMPLATE\NEWUSER.PLT
file, after the *ENDPLATE line:
*TOFILE,C:\ROBOFX\ROBOT\ROBOT.DAT,NEWUSER,Welcome!,{USERNAME}
Step 4 - Add a hook to your BBS batch file
Add a hook to your BBS batch file to check for new data. If
new data is found, run PROCESS.BAT. For example, before OR
after you make a call to ROBOFX.EXE in your batch file, add
these two lines:
echo:Checking for RoboROBOT...
if exist c:\robofx\robot\robot.dat call c:\robofx\robot\process.bat
Step 5 - Edit ROBOT.INI
ROBOT.INI, the setup file for RoboROBOT, contains system
specific information which you will need to change. Follow the
comments and change where necessary. Be sure to correctly
identify the message area path and message area name for
RoboROBOT to post to.
Step 6 - Check and modify NEWUSER.TXT
Take a look at NEWUSER.TXT. It is set up as a default template
for a new user message. Use any RoboBOARD/FX inline text or
color token. See TOKENS.DOC or your RoboBOARD/FX manual for
the latest and complete listing.
Have Fun!
If you were totally confused by the above guide, please consult
the user manual for RoboROBOT, ROBOT.DOC.
