This is a checkoff list for proper installation and operation of Silver
Xpress. Print this documentation and go through each item.
┌──┐ Make sure utilities such as PKZIP, ARJ, LHA are available
└──┘ in a directory defined in the PATH statement.
To see if this is set up correctly, make a temporary directory
called JUNK, off the Xpress directory. Switch to this directory
and attempt to run PKZIP, PKUNZIP, ARJ, LHA or any other utility.
If DOS says "Bad Commmand or File Name", the utilities are not
on the PATH.
┌──┐ Make sure the XPRESS.BAT (XPRESS for PCBoard) is correct for your
└──┘ setup. Make sure it is switching directories and/or drives
correctly.
┌──┐ Make sure the BBS will call the XPRESS.BAT (XPRESS for PCBOARD)
└──┘ correctly.
┌──┐ Do you want users to request file downloads with Silver Xpress?
└──┘
Check the SETUP/MISC options. Set the file request amount to
zero, if you want to turn this off. If you want to set it on a
per user basis, edit the user flags.
The same is true with file uploads.
┌──┐ If you are not part of Fidonet, skip this. As a fido sysop,
└──┘ you may be offering netmail to your users. Check the Netmail
information section and make sure the netmail attributes are
set to what you want.
┌──┐ File Scanner: Make sure you only allow the scanned areas to
└──┘ be secured by you. In other words, look at the file areas
picked up by Xpress, and make sure the high security areas are
not scanned by simulating a user login and usage of Xpress (Log
in as a user).
┌──┐ Check the XPPROT.CTL. This file will use the XMT file transfer
└──┘ program to transfer mail. XMT is a home grown program with XYZ
modem capabilities. It also works with the FOSSIL, if you want
to use the FOSSIL for XMT. Add the /F switch after the XMT
command and before any other switches.
If you do not want to use XMT at all, we have provided XPPROT.DSZ.
Copy this file over to XPPROT.CTL and DSZ will be used for file
transfers.
