- Notes on the SHAREWARE version:
-
- PowerBBS for SHAREWARE, is a true shareware version. Everything is included
- in this version, including Zmodem. The only difference between the shareware
- version and the registered version, is the message that specifies UNREGISTERED
- in PowerBBS (Shareware), will not be displayed in the REGISTERED version.
-
- Also, be aware that Registered users will receive a PRINTED MANUAL, with a
- TABLE of CONTENTS (not available in the .WRI format MANUAL).
-
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
- To install WINDOWS version (Here is a BRIEF explanation. PLEASE read the
- MANUAL on installation.):
-
- 1) Copy Powrmain.exe and Powrfile.exe onto a floppy. Put the floppy into
- disk A or B.
- 2) run Install.exe. This is a WINDOWS application, and must be run
- from WINDOWS.
- 3) READ The DOCS on installation.
-
- --> PROTOCOL INFORMATION:
- PowerBBS provides TWO protocol programs (both named PBBSPROT.EXE).
-
- The one provided in powrmain.exe, and which will be installed is the
- WINDOWS API pbbsprot. This version, uses the WINDOWS API to communication.
- This is the highly recommended selection. DO NOT CHANGE THIS, unless you
- are exactly sure of what you are doing.
-
- The one available in protintr.exe is the PBBSPROT.EXE that does it's
- communications internally! It does not use the Windows API! Just simply
- unextract the PBBSPROT.EXE in Protintr.exe, and place it in your \Powrbbs
- directory. Before doing this, be sure you know what you are doing, and have
- the PBBSPROT.EXE already in your \powrbbs directory, saved.
