Remote Access 2.x Installation
──────────────────────────────
Installation
────────────
The following instructions explain how to install SabreChat!
onto your system. Note that this installation assumes the
system is a basic Remote Access setup. For sake of
description, the multi-user data path is the directory that
your USERON.BBS file is located.
1. unzip the SabreChat! package into a C:\SCHAT directory or
any directory you wish. These instructions will use
C:\SCHAT for simplicity.
2. you will need to set the environment variable S!NODE to point
to the multi-user data path (usually the \RA directory), and
set the variable S!EXE to point to the directory with all
the SCHAT! files in it. If the two paths are the same you
can leave out the S!EXE variable. I would suggest puting
these lines in the AUTOEXEC.BAT.
Here is an example:
SET S!NODE=C:\RA
SET S!EXE=C:\SCHAT
3. add the line 'C:\SCHAT\SMIXER! N2' to your AUTOEXEC.BAT.
note that the parameter N needs to be set to the highest
node number on the whole system. (example: for nodes 1,2,5
you would use N5 instead of N3). For additional
information please see the SMIXER!.DOC that was included in the
archive.
4. now you will have to set up a door call. SabreChat! basically
requires only a couple of parameters.
N = the node number
S = the semaphore path (if you are using one in RA)
The default REMOTE ACCESS setup would be a Type 7 menu call
set up like this:
C:\SCHAT\SCHAT!.EXE N*N P*P A*G T*T SF:\SEMA
This assumes that your semaphore path is F:\SEMA. Note you
do not need to specify a semaphore path if you do not have
one specified in RA.
Also note that you do NOT need a *C /C at the beginning of
the line.
5. You will need to reboot the computer so that the changes to
AUTOEXEC.BAT will take place.
If everything is in order then you should have a working
version of SabreChat!. I would check everything now and make
sure that all is working. Afterwards, you may customize
SabreChat! to better fit your specific online needs...
TroubleShooting
───────────────
Here's a few tips that may help with problems that arise
after a while. If you start getting 'ghost' users or
conferences, try deleting all the *.SWD files and your
USERON.BBS file (when no one is on the board, of course) and
try again.
