If you're like me, you want everything about your board to work properly.
Well, one of the shortcomings of RBBS is that if you have your board locked
at a baud rate, your protocols do their estimates for a transfer at the
rate the board is locked. In the case where you're using ZSX for your
transfers, it returns a very low transfer percentage for any rate less than
the rate you're locked at. The same holds true for MPT, DSZ and others.
Hence, this merge. RBBS needed a way to pass the connect (modem to modem)
rate to the external protocol. I added the ability to pass a new variable,
CBAUD, for connect baud, as well as the other variables it passes (BAUD,
NODE#, NODE, etc.). This now allows my external protocols to do their
estimates with the proper value of the connect rate.
To install this mod, just run the enclosed batch file which requires Ken
Goosens BLED. This will automatically install the the merges into your source
code. You can also install the line changes by hand. If you've installed
other merges previously, this is the recommended method. In addition to the
enclosed mods, you must add a new variable to the RBBS-VAR.BAS file. This
new variable is ZCBaud$. Your RBBS-VAR.BAS file should look like this.
ZCategoryCode$(1), _
ZCategoryDesc$(1), _
ZCategoryName$(1), _
ZCBaud$, _ ' RM022301
ZChainedDir$, _
ZChatAvail, _
I have included a copy of my RBBS-VAR.BAS file for your use. Just rename your
original copy and replace with this copy. When done with the merges and the
RBBS-VAR.BAS files, just recompile and go to town. I have been using this
merge on my board for 2 months now with no ill affect. Good luck.
If there are any questions you can contact me at The Small Time BBS.
