I have supplied the VIEWMRG.BAT file I used to add this mrg to my version
of RBBS... make sure to EDIT the Drives and Subdirs to match your setup


Bled Mod to add VIEW ASCII TEXT and DLARC form the RBBS V)iew Arc file command
This mod to be applied to the unmodified source code of RBBS ver 17a

Additions to CONFIG:

CONFIG PARAMETER # 285 will now allow you to select a drive and Subdir to
use as a WORK area for PKX..You can create this Subdir first or CONFIG will
create it for you.

Since All the files in the subdir choosen will be deleted when a user
first logs on to RBBS please make sure there is nothing of value in that Subdir

Also you will have to have PKXARC (version 3.5 recommended) available
via the PATH Statement in your AUTOEXEC.BAT file. for example if you have
PKXARC.COM in your DOS subdir then add the following statement to your
AUTOEXEC.BAT file
PATH=C:\DOS
this will make PKX available from anywere on your system.

If you don't have any other mods then just use the RBBS-VAR.BAS file included
with this MRG.. otherwise ADD the variables with 'VIEWMOD. For those of you
who do have other MODS in you source code Please review the code in the *.MRG
files to make sure your mods arte not overwritten.... if there are some mods to
lines in the MRG files I have supplied you can still use BLED to add this merge
You will have to add your changes to the lines in this merge and then use BLED

If in Doubt I recommend adding the Mods Manually. Just look over the code
and use an editor with a cut and paste feature to add my code to yours

ENJOY !!!
