- Upgrade information for Master-B version 3.00
-
- To upgrade, execute the file MBV3.EXE, read this one, and edit your current
- configuration.
-
- Config File changeover:
- Far left column is the line number, next column to the right is what the
- configuration file USED to be, the IS column is what the config NOW is, and
- the Previously line # shows the line numbers the new version takes from the
- old version.
-
- You can do the conversion yourself with a text editor. It's pretty easy...
-

-
- **Valid BBS types are {CASE IS SENSITIVE!!!!} /PCBoard for PCBoard, /#, /RA,
- and /Other PLEASE READ ON!!
-
- /PCBoard systems will change the Bulletin\Path to the PATH (including the
- backslash) of their BLT.LST file. The PCBoard sysop can then delete
- the filenames of lines 14 downward, but KEEP THE DESCRIPTION. Edit
- it so that the descriptions start in column 1, or, start them in row
- 2 if you want a spacing character in the display file. The
- bulletin-names are retrieved from the PCBoard's BLT.LST file, so you
- don't need to list them here. Just make sure your BLT.LST and your
- Master-B config file keep updated together.
-
- /# Is for numerically listed bulletins (ie SpitFire, Searchlight, RyBBS).
- Users of this format do not need to change the filenames already
- listed. So, leave lines after (and including) 10 alone.
-
- /RA for alphabetically listed bulletins (ie sysop-configured systems like
- Maximus, RemoteAccess, QuickBBS, etc.). Users of this format do not
- need to change the filenames or descriptions already listed. So,
- leave lines after (and including) 10 alone.
-
- /Other will probably NOT be used as an upgrade, but I'll include it in here
- just for the heck of it. Since it's hard to explain, here's an
- example: | <--- Left column AB BULLETIN.ASC Description here
-
- First is the 1, 2, or three letter/number/whatever name of your
- bulletin, the filename starts at column 4, and the description starts
- at line 17. You can edit this to your liking. Use this if your
- Bulletins are named 'strangely', or, in a system where your first
- bulletin is 1A, your second is 1B, or any other 'odd' naming
- convention where you need to define the names yourself. You may need
- to check the documentation for this option.
-
- If you have any questions, check the documentation. If you still have
- questions, don't hesitate to contact me, Scott Fell, at Quandra BBS
- (602)527-8895 for installation (or upgrade) instructions.
