- This useful feature helps you look for problems in your
- setup; with any luck, if you've followed the instructions this
- far, you won't have any problems. If you DO receive an error
- message upon running VBBS, chances are this program will point
- out where the problem is.
-
- ╔═╗ It's also a good idea to run the diagnostics if you've
- ╚═╝ made any changes in the PATHS configuration, just to make
- sure VBBS can find everything it needs to run properly.
-
- If you get a "Path Missing" error, especially when the
- diagnostics are checking the file transfer areas, the
- most probable explanation is that the database has been
- set up in VCONFIG, but the DOS directory for that data-
- base does not exist yet. If this is the case, you need
- to create that database's directory in DOS.

- That just about does it for VCONFIG. If your system is
- like most, you'll find that you spend a lot of time using this
- program -- adding new databases, changing various settings, and
- whatnot. VCONFIG is one of the features that makes VBBS unique
- among BBS softwares -- it presents the sysop with a multitude of
- options with regard to BBS presentation and operation.
