■ GETTING STARTED ■
────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
This is a snap to get up and running (as you will see).
┌────────────────────────┐
▄│ System Requirements │
█└────────────────────────┘
▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀
This program was designed for use with IBM compatible personal computer
systems, with 640K minimum RAM and preferably a color monitor.
┌─────────────────┐
▄│ Installation │
█└─────────────────┘
▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀
First things first:
Create a directory to hold the system files. Run SFILECFG.EXE, it will
create an ASCII file called SFILEx.CFG (Note: x = Node Number) with the
configuration. It will also create SFILE.DAT.
Here is a description of the format of SFILEx.CFG.
Line 1 - BBS Type (SFILECFG.EXE will help you with this!)
Line 2 - Path to your BBS drop files (DOOR.SYS, SFDOORS.DAT, Others)
Line 3 - Your BBS name
Line 4 - Your full name
Line 5 - The LOCKED speed of your communications port.
SFILE.DAT is used to store the information on the files that you
have selected for your uses to see as 'Suggested Files'. This
file can only be edited by using SFILECFG.EXE.
┌─────────────────┐
▄│ Basic Concepts │
█└─────────────────┘
▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀
Suggested Files is designed to be either a logon utility or to run as
a door.
Please check your BBS software documentation files for information on how
to setup 'Logon Utilities' or 'Doors'.
┌──────────────────┐
▄│ Command Line │
█└──────────────────┘
▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀
This program needs the following command line. Run simply as:
SFILE SFILEx.CFG -- x = CURRENT node number.
SFILE.DAT will be created for use by the program, please do not delete
this file. Also, SFILEx.CFG must reside in the same directory.
────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
■ MISCELLANEOUS ■
────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
Please, support the shareware concept, folks. This program is not crippled
for one simple reason: I can't stand crippleware! You are free to evaluate
the system in its entirety. No features have been disabled.
