- INTER-BBS INSTRUCTIONS
- (Using Sunrise-80 BBS as Your HUB)
- (Can be used as a template for those that have set themselves up as HUBS)
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- (1) Contact Al Lawrence (Sysop), VOICE, to obtain a unique NODE number. Do not
- assign one yourself as duplicate numbers will mean your scores will not be
- recognized. (NOTE: You would contact me ONLY if you want to use Sunrise-80
- as your HUB, else contact your HUB).
-
- (2) To Upload/Download files while logged on to the BBS:
-
- a. Upload your YYYYYY0.xxx and/or YYYYYY1.xxx (YYYYYY = DoorName and
- xxx=your assigned NODE number) file(s) to Sunrise-80 BBS. At the Main
- Command prompt type:
- U HIROLL0.xxx (xxx=your assigned NODE number). <- Score file
- U HIROLL1.xxx (xxx=your assigned NODE number). <- Message file
-
- When asked for a description enter:
-
- /your BBS name - HIROLL INTERBBS FILE
-
- You will receive a message from the BBS that the upload was unsuccessful
- or something of that nature. Disregard it since all it means is that it
- did not like the format you uploaded in (ie: it did not have a ZIP
- extension).
-
- NOTE: You can not ZIP up individual score files, but you CAN ZIP all your
- individual score files and Message files into ONE ZIP file and
- then upload that file, rather than individual files. If you chose
- this option, you MUST use a filename of anyname.xxx, where
- xxx=your node number. Be sure to let Al Lawrence know what you are
- using for the ZIPPED file name, BEFORE you transmit for the first
- time.
-
- b. During the same call you would Download the latest consolidated door
- score file and Message file (naming convention would be the same as
- uploading an indvidual file (ie: Hiroll0.xxx and Hiroll1.xxx) with the
- exception that the extension will ALWAYS be .001). If you wanted to
- download ALL the .001 SCORE files, MESSAGE files and Monthly High Score
- files, you would download a ZIPPED file named INTERBBS.ALL.
-
- For Example: D HIROLL0.001
-
- or
-
- D INTERBBS.ALL
-
- You would then run INTERBBS on your system to import the latest
- consolidated file(s). Of course, you will first have to unZIP the
- INTERBBS.ALL file and place the files in the directories that will
- be referenced by the InterBBS.CFG files.
-
- (3) If using a Front-End program to transfer files you can follow the
- instructions above, with the exception of the SPECIFIC instructions that
- pertain to logging on a BBS and uploading. You would instead send the
- appropriate files and in the same session you would FREQ: INTERBBS.ALL
-
- (4) On the first of the month you must ensure that your last score file, that
- contains the final scores for the prior month, makes it to Sunrise-80 BBS
- no later than 0930 EST. Failure to send by that time will mean that any
- scores accumulated since your last transmission will not be figured into
- the prior month's High Score calculation.
-
- (5) Depending on the Door game, you must ensure that the following information
- for each Door, is what is in the doors CFG file. Failure to have the same
- values in the CFG file will result in the file being rejected.
-
- (6) If you are using a FrontEnd Mailer, we have the ability to attach
- individual files or the INTERBBS.ALL filet to a message and place it on
- hold to be picked up or can be crashed to you, providing you are LOCAL to
- our calling area.
-
- See CFGVALUE.TXT that accompanies this file, for required CFG
- entries that MUST be used when using Sunrise -80 as your HUB!!
