CHAIN REACTION
(c)1995-1996 Mace Software, Inc.
=============================== COMMON QUESTIONS ===========================
Updated: 9/2/96
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Q. I inadvertently added some chains that I later found were bad. How
can I correct these?
A. You must drop to DOS and run CHEDIT. This will allow you to change
or delete any bad chains. The database that comes with Chain Reaction
was checked by me and includes many chains added by the InterBBS
users at my site. You may find some of those you don't wish to use.
You can remove those as well.
NOTE: As with any utility that alters a database, you should always
backup the data before proceeding. In this case, backup file
CHREACT.DAT prior to using CHEDIT.EXE
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Q. I've heard that Chain Reaction can be enjoyed at home without a
BBS. Is this true?
A. Yes, simply run CHREACT.EXE from the dos prompt with no command
line parameters, and it will prompt you for your name and play
as usual.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Q. If I have a problem, how can I contact the author?
A. The author, Gary Mace, can be reached several ways.

Sorry, due to my unusual work schedule, no voice support is
provided. Please do not call me via voice. You'll find when
approached via the means above, I will respond very quickly.
Trust me..you don't want to wake me up at 9:00am after working
till midnight.. :)

Q. I am running Chain Reaction InterBBS as a hub. One of my downlinks
data is not being processed. It comes in nightly, but is not shown
in the score files.
A. Sounds as if you and your downlink are using different PLAYS PER
DAY settings in the CHREACT.CFG. All league systems MUST all be
set to the same. If not, the data will be ignored.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Q. When I run the InterBBS module, I am getting an error message?
A. This could be many things. One possible cause would be that not
all systems in the league are running the same version of Chain
Reaction. First check to ensure that all systems are on the most
current version.
Some of the earlier versions of CHREIBBS.EXE contained several
bugs that would cause this. If you are not sure you running the
current version, please check FBN BBS.
If you are using the current version, and all systems are running
the same, then please advise Mace Software of the message. Look
for a file named CHREIBBS.LOG. This may contain helpful information
to assistance us in correcting any problems.

Q. I've heard a new version is out. How can I obtain it:
A. The current versions can be obtained by:
