Novucivitas 121789.01 Helpful Hints for Users/SYSOPs
1. The Ctrl-Break combination can be used to end a networking session.
The session will exit gracefully and correctly at the end of the
current cycle, and you will be returned to the DOS prompt.
2. Never, but NEVER run the following programs while Novu is in memory:
NMI.EXE
MI.EXE
TF.EXE (when using it on HELP.TXT, MENU.TXT or BLURB.TXT)
Since Novu can shell to DOS a number of ways (not all of which give
an indication to outside programs), you should never run these program
from a shell (Alt-S) or from a door (unless it is external).
3. Any file with an extension of SYS should NOT be opened with an ASCII
text editor (save the file CNFG.SYS).
4. Some QuickBBS/RBBS compatible doors require a file called NODES.BBS.
This file is an ASCII text file containing four lines. Each line
corresponds to the COM port used by each of the four possible nodes
available to these doors. Since there is only one possible node with
Novu, each line of the file will contain the same COM port. Here is
a sample NODES.BBS file:
