- PRMBS/ROSERVER v1.50 03/01/91
-
- Unless you have been running PRMBS v1.3x you should UNZIP the
- file RS143DOC.ZIP and use the DOS PRINT utility to print out the
- documentation it will go in more detail on how to setup and run the
- system. The documentation file was 'printed' to a disk file from
- Wordstar Pro v5.0 using DRAFT PRINTER format (CR-LF, FF, BS, commands
- only)
-
- This disk contains a few files of use. The first its the main run package
-
- RS147RUN.ZIP
- FIRSTRUN.BAT
-
- Inside of it are all the executables.
-
- RS150DOC.ZIP is the documentation file - NOTE - This file is not
- really complete. It is the first draft reflectingt he many changes that
- have taken place from 1.43 to 1.50. Everything you need to get the
- system running is there and much of the background explanations, but
- there is still more to come. Anywhere that included files RS1xxUPD.RME
- conflict with the main doc, the update doc takes precedence. IF you
- still have questions please send me email.
-
- To set up the system copy the entire contents of this disk to a
- virgin directory (\BBS) and then type
-
- FIRSTRUN 1000 KA2BQE Brian Riley

- subsititute the appropriate values for the number, call, and names
-
- This will unpack the code creating directories and the mail file and
- user file.
-
- You may at this point type edit the sample file CONFIG.CON,
- changing only the system call as appropriate, editing the Route strings
- for your state/country/continent (sound difficult, but its obvious) The
- type "CONSOLE" and a console only copy of the code will be brought up
- after it settle down hit ESC, when it says "login:" hit ENTER, and when
- it asks for password type "PRMBS" and hit ENTER. You now have the BBS
- console. Enter the commands
- QTH "Your city,ST" and ZIP yourzip
- Then type "X" to exit the BBS. Now type CONSOLE and go through the
- above login steps and you are ready to play with the BBS. The above
- steps were to enter your QTH and ZIP inot the user database for the BBS
- to use when creating forwarding headers.. They are checked at startup
- so you had to logout and re-login to get them into the program. Now you
- can play with the BBS.
