-
-
- * PIMPORT will read a squish.cfg or areas.bbs file and update any
- new areas into messages.pb or msgareas.pb using a templet area
- you have selected for flags, levels, akas, etc.
-
- * Note1: PB2.01 uses MSGAREAS.PB, while PB2.1x uses MESSAGES.PB
- Make a backup copy of this files before proceding.
-
- * Note2: SQUISH.CFG or AREAS.BBS and MSGAREAS.PB or MESSAGES.PB must
- be in the same directory along with PIMPORT.EXE
-
- * Note3: You must have at least *ONE* message area already configured
- in PROCFG as PIMPORT needs an area to use as a template for
- importing the areas.bbs or squish.cfg files.
-
- ---------
- PROCEDURE
- ---------
- Make a work directory and copy SQUISH.CFG or AREAS.BBS and MSGAREAS.PB
- or MESSAGES.PB along with PIMPORT.EXE to this work directory.
-
- Commnd line format for Squish.cfg is:
-
- Pimport S 5
- | ^ Area number to use as a Templet
- ^ import Squish.cfg
- Also Squish.cfg must be in this directory
-
- Command line format for Areas.bbs is:
-
- Pimport A 5
- | ^ Area number to use as a Templet
- ^ import Areas.bbs
- Also Areas.bbs must be in this directory
-
-
- PIMPORT will create a new MSGAREAS.PB or MESSAGES.PB file in this work
- directory. Copy this new file to your \PB directory and run PROCFG.EXE
- to check your areas. If you get any errors, adjust your template file
- and use your saved copy of MSGAREAS.PB or MESSAGES.PB to rerun PIMPORT.
