With the UltraBBS v2.08 package, you should have received three files:
UBBS208A.ZIP Contains executables and main files
UBBS208B.ZIP Contains executables, documentation, help, & sample files
UBBS208C.ZIP Contains non-overlaid version of executable
You should unZIP UBBS208A.ZIP into a \UBBS\ directory. UBBS208B.ZIP must be
unZIPped with PKUNZIP's "-d" option to create the necessary directories to
place its files in (FILES\ and HELP\). If you wish to use the non-overlaid
version, then unZIP UBBS208C.ZIP and rename its UBBSNO.EXE file to UBBS.EXE.
The overlaid version requires much less memory (see the documentation for the
exact requirements) but operates a bit slower, especially if you have a slow
hard disk.
As packaged, UltraBBS comes with all paths set to directories on drive D:. If
you use another drive, remember, you must change ALL drive letters--in the BBS
parameters, the conference setup, the DAT files' setup sections, etc. Also
remember to create all necessary directories when first getting started!
To run UltraBBS, you will need several files in addition to what is included in
the UBBS208?.ZIP files. You will need a FOSSIL driver (common ones are X00,
OPUSCOMM, and BNU), and you'll need DSZ and BIMODEM (if you use the protocol
batch files that came with the package). These programs are available on most
BBSes.
The UltraBBS documentation, ULTRABBS.TXT, is designed to be printed and may not
look perfectly normal when viewed on-screen. It can be printed with:
COPY ULTRABBS.TXT PRN
The file CONTACT.TXT lists places where the author may be contacted. If you
have any problems, suggestions, or bug reports, please report them to one of
these places. Many new features are already planned for the next version and
your suggestions would be appreciated.
Enjoy! -- Bob Farmer
