I am not responsible for anything that happens to your

Requirements: PC(tm), XT(tm), AT(tm) or compatible computer

WWIV v4.xx BBS software
ANSI.SYS driver
A Modem on com port 1 to 4
--[For sysops of NON-WWIV BBS']---------------------------------------------
NOTE: This software communicates directly with the modem, so it will work
on other BBS systems if you have the proper conversion routines to
convert your BBS softwares chain/door file to CHAIN.TXT used by
Profile. To invoke Profile from a batch file, use PROFILE CHAIN.TXT.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
The UNREGISTERED version of Profile v4.0 will only work if the user can
support ANSI graphics. NON-ANSI users will not be allowed to make profiles.
The REGISTERED version allows NON-ANSI users to use the program as well.
Here's how to install Profile in WWIV:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
1) Exit or shell to dos and type in the following:
(Hit ENTER after each line)
Do not type the comments that are in the
box below.
___________________________________________________
CD\ |
CD WWIV |Replace WWIV with your main WWIV dir if different.
MD PROFILE |If you want to name it other than PROFILE, go ahead.
COPY CON PROFILE.BAT |
ECHO OFF |Using @ECHO OFF looks nicer if using DOS 5.0
CD PROFILE |If you want to name it other than PROFILE, go ahead.
PROFILE %1 |
CD.. |
|
[[NOW press F6 and hit ENTER. You should see 1 file(s) copied.]]
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
2) Copy the file PROFILE.EXE into the \WWIV\PROFILE directory.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
3) Make a chain in //CHAINEDIT that looks like this:
A. Description : PROFILE v4.0
B. Filename : PROFILE %1 <-- Important!
C. SL : 10
D. AR : None.
E. ANSI : Optional
F. Dos Interrupt: NOT Used <-- Important!
G. 300 Baud : Allowed
H. Shrink : No
I. Disable Pause: No <-- This option does not matter.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
========================================================================
========================================================================
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NOTE: You must have ANSI.SYS installed to see ANSI graphics on the local
sysops end. To do this, make a file in your root directory called
CONFIG.SYS and then put the line....
DEVICE=\DOS\ANSI.SYS
in it. Be sure the file ANSI.SYS (located on your DOS disk) is in
the \DOS directory. You may use any other ANSI driver that is
compatible with ANSI.SYS.
If you choose not to install ANSI.SYS, the user will still see ANSI
graphics even though the local end will not.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You are now all set. Run it offline and create your own profile first!
Rest assured, Profile v4.0 has carrier checking so it will return to the
BBS if the carrier is lost and WWIV will handle it from there. It will exit
the user if their time is expired also. Profile v4.0 supports COM1: to COM4:
and any baud from 1 to 115,200.
