This is a check off list for proper installation and operation of Silver
Xpress. Print this documentation and go through each item.
┌──┐ Make sure the utilities such as PKZIP, ARJ, LHA are available
└──┘ in a directory defined in the PATH statement.
To see if this is setup right, make a temporary directory called
JUNK off the Xpress directory. Switch to this directory and attempt
to run the 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, then 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 areas to be scanned are
└──┘ secured by you. In other words, look at the file areas pickup 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 provided XPPROT.DSZ.
Copy this file over to XPPROT.CTL and DSZ will be used for file
transfers.
