PLZ-READ 1ST N/A
MNODE15 DOC Please PRINT this document! It is worth the Time and PAPER!
It is the Core document and is approximately 22 pages long.
NODE TAG C:\WC30
AUTOEXEC TMP C:\
BUILDBBS TMP C:\WC30
CAT TMP C:\WC30
CONFIG TMP C:\WC30
DESQVIEW TMP C:\DV
FIXNODE TMP C:\
KILLTAGS TMP C:\WC30
NODEX TMP C:\WC30\WCWORK\NODEx IE:to ALL Node Home Directories.
ALT-WAY1 ZIP N/A
* Note that there are No executable files in this .ZIP!
PLEASE READ the document carefully! Everything you need to be running
a multinode Wildcat BBS under DESQview in less than two hours is included
in this .ZIP file; BUT none the information and template .BAT files will
do you any good if you don't Read the *entire* MNODE.DOC file.
You Must edit all the .TMP sample files to suit your individual BBS's
needs. There is simply no way I can write a .BAT file that is going to
work on every BBS installation out there.
In particular, all the .TMP sample batch files ASSUME the following:
1) You are running the BBS from drive C:\
2) You installed Wildcat and DESQview into the Default Directories
recommended by the installer programs.
In any case, be SURE you edit all the .TMP files to properly work for
your system. Thanx and enjoy!

REVISION HISTORY:
=================
"Upgrading" Sysops:
*******************
If your system is running fine under the files from previous version of
MNODE.DOC, there is No Reason what so ever to "upgrade" to the new
version of MNODE! Feel free to review the newer version as you find the
time, but be assured that if your system is working well for you, there
are no big "benefits" to be gained by "fixing" your already working BBS
by using the newer MNODE version.
HOWEVER: If you have had problems getting your BBS to run under DV using
an older version of MNODE, perhaps some of the rewritten text and batch
files will help you make the "connection" to the multi-node world.
Version:
--------
1.5 Continued to incorporate changes recommended by other sysops. In
particular, Kim VanLandingham's excellent critique' of MNODE14 was
instrumental in helping me iron out some rough areas.
Main changes were renaming two of the .TMP files to make the system
easier to use:
MNODE14 name changed to MNODE15
====================================================
CLEANALL.TMP ........................ KILLTAGS.TMP
CLEANUP.TMP ........................ FIXNODE.TMP
Additional tweaks in the text and in the Comments in the .TMP files
were made at Kim's suggestion as well. Kim's multi-line BBS can be
reached at K.C.C OnLine! (205)281-9114 v.32bis.
1.4 Major Tweaks! Fixed 2 genuine BUGS and clarified some of the
text regarding the NODEx.UP tag files. Added NODE.TAG to the
included files.
1.3 Fixed some typos, cleaned up the .TMP's with better comments.
1.2 Added ALT-WAY1.ZIP, a collection of alternative .TMP files and
discussions with Jeff Mefford. We discuss some proposed changes
to some of the .TMP files. This is in a separate .ZIP file to
avoid confusion.
I will continue to add ALT-FILEx.ZIP files as nifty suggestions
continue to come in. You can never have too many points of view!
1.1 Added an ADDENDUM to answer additional questions about solving
memory problems (mainly not enough memory to run WC!) using
MANIFEST, TECHSUP.BAT and the QEMM INCLUDE= command.
