How do I update my Hermes BBS?

BBIAB Convertor v1.1
By David Woodall
FREEWARE

This application will convert the .db files from the BBS in a Box CD as well
as other CDs to Hermes II v3.x data files.  Once you create the data files
all you need to do is create Hermes transfer directories with EXACTLY the
same names and drop the data files in the Area folder where the corresponding
directories are located.

We have created hermes directories for you on this CD but here is info as
to how it is done unless you want to create your own.

1.  Launch BBIAB Convertor v1.1. (located in CD Setup:Hermes)
2.  Click on "Add" and select a .db file you want to convert.
3.  Repeat above until all .db files are selected.
4.  Select "Convert".
5.  Set the folder to hold the files that will be created.
6.  Click the "Select" button to start the conversion.
7.  Quit BBIAB Convertor v1.1.
8.  Create new transfer directories in Hermes II v3.x.
9.  Put the data files you just created inside the appropriate Area folder.

Notes:  

The conversion will be faster if you move the .db files to your hard drive.

If you do NOT want the .sit, .cpt, .sea suffixes on the filenames, click
on the the appropriate box before converting the .db files.

If you will be moving the actual files from the CD ROM to the appropriate
Hermes II v3.x transfer folders, click on the "Strip CD ROM Pathname" box
before converting the .db files.  This will strip the "individual file
pathname" from the .db files.

You can rename the data files created to any name you want, so long as the Hermes directory name is exactly the same as the data file.

You must set the filename length in Hermes to the same value as the BBIAB
Convertor so the descriptions are the right length.
