- Installation
- ────────────
-
- The following instructions explain how to install SabreChat!
- onto your system. Note that this installation assumes the
- system is a basic Remote Access setup. For sake of
- description, the multi-user data path is the directory that
- your USERON.BBS file is located.
-
- 1. unzip the SabreChat! package into a C:\SCHAT directory or
- any directory you wish. These instructions will use
- C:\SCHAT for simplicity.
-
- 2. you will need to set the environment variable S!NODE to point
- to the multi-user data path (usually the \RA directory), and
- set the variable S!EXE to point to the directory with all
- the SCHAT! files in it. If the two paths are the same you
- can leave out the S!EXE variable. I would suggest puting
- these lines in the AUTOEXEC.BAT.
-
- Here is an example:
-
- SET S!NODE=C:\RA
- SET S!EXE=C:\SCHAT
-
-
- 3. add the line 'C:\SCHAT\SMIXER! N2' to your AUTOEXEC.BAT.
- note that the parameter N needs to be set to the highest
- node number on the whole system. (example: for nodes 1,2,5
- you would use N5 instead of N3). For additional
- information please see the SMIXER!.DOC that was included in the
- archive.
-
- 4. now you will have to set up a door call. SabreChat! basically
- requires only a couple of parameters.
-
- N = the node number
- S = the semaphore path (if you are using one in RA)
-
- The default REMOTE ACCESS setup would be a Type 7 menu call
- set up like this:
-
- C:\SCHAT\SCHAT!.EXE N*N P*P A*G T*T SF:\SEMA
-
- This assumes that your semaphore path is F:\SEMA. Note you
- do not need to specify a semaphore path if you do not have
- one specified in RA.
-
- Also note that you do NOT need a *C /C at the beginning of
- the line.
-
- 5. You will need to reboot the computer so that the changes to
- AUTOEXEC.BAT will take place.
-
- If everything is in order then you should have a working
- version of SabreChat!. I would check everything now and make
- sure that all is working. Afterwards, you may customize
- SabreChat! to better fit your specific online needs...

- TroubleShooting
- ───────────────
-
- Here's a few tips that may help with problems that arise
- after a while. If you start getting 'ghost' users or
- conferences, try deleting all the *.SWD files and your
- USERON.BBS file (when no one is on the board, of course) and
- try again.
