[BAS-READ.ME] July 30, 1989
Dear fellow SYSOP,
RBBS-PC is proud to be one the few bulletin programs that releases
source code. This is the read me file for the BASIC source code
for RBBS-PC version 17.2B. It should be a part of RBBS-BAS.ZIP,
containing the following files:
CLCNFG45.BAT Batch file to recompile CONFIG using QB 4.5
CLCONFIG.BAT Batch file to recompile CONFIG using QB 3.0
CLRBBS.BAT Batch file to recompile RBBS-PC using QB 3.0
CLRBBS45.BAT Batch file to recompile RBBS-PC using QB 4.5
CNFG-SUB.BAS Source code for subprograms using in CONFIG
CNFG-VAR.BAS Global variables shared in CONFIG across subprograms
CONFIG.BAS Source code for main CONFIG program
LINKLST3.DAT Directions to linker for RBBS-PC with QB 3.0
LINKLST4.DAT Directions to linker for RBBS-PC with QB 4.5
RBBS-PC.BAS Source code for main RBBS-PC program
RBBS-VAR.BAS Globals variables in RBBS-PC shared across subprograms
RBBSSUB1.BAS Source code for all subprograms in RBBS-PC
that need error trapping
RBBSSUB2.BAS Source code for subprograms in RBBS-PC
RBBSSUB3.BAS Source code for subprograms in RBBS-PC
RBBSSUB4.BAS Source code for subprograms in RBBS-PC
RBBSSUB5.BAS Source code for subprograms in RBBS-PC
This file part of a larger set of files and should not be
distributed alone.
RBBS-PC Version CPC17-2B is distributed via three mandatory and four
optional standard "ZIP" files. Two sets of merges are available but
not automatically distributed.
File Name Description
(Mandatory)
RBBS-DOC.ZIP Documentation for RBBS-PC
RBBS-EXE.ZIP Executable files.
RBBS-TXT.ZIP System text files used by RBBS-PC.
(Optional)
RBBS-BAS.ZIP BASIC Source code for RBBS-PC.
RBBS-ASM.ZIP RBBS-PC assembly language source code.
RBBS-EXT.ZIP External protocol drivers
Same as distributed for CPC16-1A - 17.2A
RBBS-UTL.ZIP Miscellaneous RBBS-PC utilities.
(Not distributed routinely but available)
RBBS-LIT.ZIP Merges to reduce size of RBBS-PC.EXE.
RBBSSEXE.ZIP RBBS-PC.EXE. Smaller, faster, minimal debugging.
RBBS-MRG.ZIP Merges for upgrading from 17.2B and recompiling
Simply uncompress the first three files and follow the instruction in the
RBBS-PC documentation entitled, "Installing RBBS-PC for the First Time."
For those who have never operated an electronic bulletin board before,
we suggest getting Bantam Books' "The Complete Electronic Bulletin Board
Starter Kit" by Charles Bowen and David Peyton (ISBN 0-553-34552-4).
RBBS-PC's documentation is only a "reference" and is not nearly as good
a learning guide for new SYSOP's. However, the book only covers RBBS-PC
version 15.1C, and therefore does not cover new features. Version 17.2B
is downward compatible with the system files of 15.1C.
Enjoy
