- Windows 3.1 Setup for Wildcat BBS
-
- I have been running Wildcat V3.9m under Windows 3.1 for about a month now quite
- successfully. I am running it on an IBM 386 Dx/40 with 5Meg of Ram.
-
- There are two support files provided with this package:
-
- WILDCAT.PIF - This Windows PIF runs CAT.BAT or Imrun in 386 Enhanced mode
- under Windows 3.1. I set it up to be exclusive in foreground
- mode. Generally your users will not notice any performance
- degradation if you are running another task with Wildcat in
- background. After all they are running at 14400 Baud or less.
- I also added a hot-key "ALT-C". This will allow you to go to
- Wildcat immediately after it is started in background.
-
- WCSYSOP.GRP - This is a program group for the Wildcat
- MAKEWILD, MAKEQUES, WCREPAIR, and ADDFILES utilities. You can
- add this program group by using the Windows PROGRAM
- MANAGER FILE option and select "NEW..." and then select
- "Program Group". On the next panel enter whatever title you
- choose and then enter C:\WILDCAT\WCSYSOP.GRP if you put
- it in the C:\WILDCAT directory.
-
- A couple of other configuration notes.
-
- You may want to change the PIF, if you want to reset priorities or whatever.
- You can do that with the Windows Accessory PIF EDITOR.
-
- If you want Wildcat to start and go to background everytime you start Windows,
- add this line to your WIN.INI file "run=c:\wildcat\wildcat.pif".
-
- If you are doing a lot of work with hi-speed modem , ie., greater than 14400
- baud, you should change the setting of the "COM1Buffer=512" to 1024
- in the 386 Enhanced section, otherwise you will lose characters.
- I learned that from experience.
