* Special documentation info for QBBS beta testers *
If you run a beta-version of QBBS, and have your QBBS environment variable
set in your autoexec.bat, MELEE may choke when reading the QBBS-specific BBS
files (messages, users, etc -- having never run QBBS, I may sound a little
hazy on this part, but take my word for it), and will return a disk-read error
(trying to read past end of file). All it takes to clear up this problem is
to set your QBBS environment variable to NIL prior to calling MELEE, and reset
if after MELEE exits. Do not use QBBS in line 19 of the MELEE.CFG file, either.
Example: SET QBBS=
MELEE
SET QBBS=C:\BBS (or whatever you use).
This will be fixed in the next release. For now, it works fine in all the
public (non-beta) QBBS releases.
