Step One : Download the ROTISH.ZIP packet from a local bbs that carries
it or from The Carnival BBS (504)834-1738.
Step Two : Fill out the application truthfully and completely.
The filename is ROTISH.APP
Step Three : Send it to your local Area Coordinator, Group Coordinator,
or you can just send it to the Net Coordinator, Rex (addresses are:
ExpressNet 1@5409, IceNet 1@???? , BroodNet 1@4 , and ROTISH 1@1). You
can send the application by mail over the networks. Just logon to a bbs
that supports these nets, or e-mail directly from your bbs if your board
supports the above nets. If mailing remotely, type //UPLOAD. Upload the
file (ROTISH.APP or whatever you have renamed it) when the system asks for
it. Then email the authorized person you want to send the application to.
If you are emailing locally, use the same procedure, except instead of
typing //UPLOAD, type //LOAD.
Step Four : Await your reply from the AC/GC/NC on your acceptance.
Step Five : Once accepted, check with your AC/GC/NC and make sure you have
the latest ROTISH packet. If not, then download the latest one.
Step Six : UnZip the packet into a directory called \ROTISH. *-*
*-* In this documentation, we will continue to refer to the
directory as if you had named it \ROTISH. If you don't,
substitute in this doc what you have named the directory
for \ROTISH.
Note: If you already have (a) WWIV compatible network(s) set up on your
board, then skip Step Seven.
Step Seven : In your main WWIV directory, type network 3.
Step Eight : Go into INIT and select the option "N". Insert a new net,
and name it ROTISH (spell it just like that). For the path, enter the
following (and this MUST be correct) :
C:\WWIV\ROTISH
| | |
| | \ or whatever you decided to name this
| |
| \ BBS Directory
|
\ Drive
For your node number, enter the number that your AC/GC/NC assigned you
when he told you about your acceptance. This number MUST be correct.
Step Nine : Log on to your bbs (locally will do). Check to make sure
that at the user info screen at logon, it displays the node number and
the net. Next check the net list (//Net) and make sure that your
system is listed and that the appropriate files are read.
If you get a message like:
File not found c:\wwiv\rotish\bbslist.net
then you need to check your path and location of files.
That's about all there is to setting up the net. You shouldn't have
any trouble setting this up, but if for any reason you do and you
really desperately need help, contact your NC/GC/AC.
