- - On page 1-16 of the v9.00 user manual, reference is made to keywords
- which start with RC_ and ERC_, etc, and that deletion of these keywords
- are optional. These keywords are NOT included in your STARTUP file(s)
- because they are being phased out in favor of VERBOSE modem results.
- When setting up your BBS's STARTUP file(s), use VERBOSE modem results
- (AT V1 for most modems, or a V1 within any of your init strings).
-
- - The PKUNZIP2.EXE and PKZIP2.EXE programs that are included on the
- distribution diskette are licensed from PK-WARE. HOWEVER, PK-WARE
- DOES NOT HAVE AN OS/2 VERSION WHICH IS COMPATIBLE WITH THEIR 2.04G
- ZIP FORMAT FOR DOS!!!
- For compatibility with the 2.04G format, you'll need to do this:
-
- 1) Call our BBS at (818) 782-6290
-
- 2) Download UNZ512X2.EXE (self-extracting file)
- Download ZIP201X2.ZIP
- Both files are located in area F of our FileBase 0.
- Log off.
-
- 3) Create a temporary directory (ie: MD d:\TEMP where d: is
- the drive that your MAGNUM system is located on). Change
- over to that drive and directory:
-
- d:
- md \temp
- cd \temp
-
- 4) Place both UNZ512X2.EXE and ZIP201X2.ZIP in that temp direcotry.
- From there, perform the following commands:
-
- unz512x2
- copy unzip.exe \magnum\ext_dir
- unzip -C zip201x2 zip.exe
- copy unzip.exe \magnum\ext_dir
- cd \
- del \temp ---- answer Y
- rd temp
-
- 5) Create the following file in your \magnum\ses_dir\
-
- d:\MAGNUM\SES_DIR\COMPRESS.LST
-
- Edit this file to make it have the following contents:
-
- .ZIP:
- C=ZIP.EXE -u %s
- D=UNZIP.EXE -oqjC %s
- L=UNZIP.EXE -v %s
- T=UNZIP.EXE -t %s
- K=ZIP.EXE -z %s
-
- More about the COMPRESS.LST file can be found beginning on
- page 6-5 of the user manual.

- "[T]ext Search" for SIO1 or GWIN
