CICA MS Windows CDROM, November 92 edition. Walnut Creek CDROM.
The \bbs\fwkcs and \bbs\zdcs directories contain bbs utilities that check a
zip file for a unique arithmetic signature to disallow duplicate uploads.
The \bbs\opus directory contains the tools that created the files.bbs files
in the \bbs\opus from each zip directory's 00_index.txt file. This should be
usable with Remote Access / Maximus / TubFile / Opus / QuickBbs / Superbbs.
The \bbs\pcbtool directory contains the tools used to create the \bbs\pcb
*.dir files. It also has a utility to create the global index file. How
well this will work, I don't know. Please make backups on your
configuration.
The \bbs\rbbstool directory has some tools and hints for installing
the cdrom on a RBBS board. The file listings are in \bbs\rbbs. The
directory files, dir.dir, dirc.dir, and dirg.dir are in \bbs\rbbstools.
The \bbs\sftool directory has some tools and hints for installing the
cdrom on a spitfire BBS. The file listings are in \bbs\sf.
The \bbs\rover directory has a simple utility to convert the \bbs\dir
files to rOver board format.
The \bbs\rbbstool has some directory screens for this disc. All the
directories are collapsed into 40 directories, so the list displays
on almost one screen. There is a plain version, a IBM high-bit
version, and an ANSI color version. If you want to show me what your
bbs requires for a directory area display similar to the rbbs
display, please send me the exact specifications.
If you are a BBS author, and you would like to include your BBS on
this disc set up so people can use the BBS plug-and-play (like "rbbs
in a box"), please contact me. If you set the disc up for your board
with features or enhancements that aren't on the disc, please ftp me
a copy to cdrom.com or snail-mail me a copy and I'll credit your
account toward future purchases.
I'm not a sysop. I have tried to create file index files that will
be useful for sysops. Feedback is appreciated. Prebuilt BBS
configuration files are greatly appreciated.
