ZIP.HLP Help file explaining ZIP files
The file RBBS-TXT.ZIP should normally not be distributed by itself
but as a part of RBBS-PC 17.2B, which is distributed via three
mandatory and four optional standard "ZIP" files. Two files
are available but not automatically distributed.
File Name Description
(Mandatory)
RBBS-DOC.ZIP Documentation for RBBS-PC
RBBS-EXE.ZIP Executable files.
RBBS-TXT.ZIP System text files used by RBBS-PC.
(Optional)
RBBS-BAS.ZIP BASIC Source code for RBBS-PC.
RBBS-ASM.ZIP RBBS-PC assembly language source code.
RBBS-EXT.ZIP External protocol drivers
Same as distributed for CPC16-1A, CPC17-1x
RBBS-UTL.ZIP Miscellaneous RBBS-PC utilities.
(Not distributed routinely but available)
RBBS-LIT.ZIP Merges to reduce size of RBBS-PC.EXE.
RBBSSEXE.ZIP RBBS-PC.EXE. Smaller, faster, minimal debugging.
RBBS-MRG.ZIP Merges to upgrade 17.2A and recompile to 17.2B.
Simply uncompress the first three files and follow the instruction in the
RBBS-PC documentation entitled, "Installing RBBS-PC for the First Time."
For those who have never operated an electronic bulletin board before,
we suggest getting Bantam Books' "The Complete Electronic Bulletin Board
Starter Kit" by Charles Bowen and David Peyton (ISBN 0-553-34552-4).
RBBS-PC's documentation is only a "reference" and is not nearly as good
a learning guide for new SYSOP's. However, the book only covers RBBS-PC
version 15.1C, and therefore does not cover new features. Version 17.2A
is downward compatible with the system files of 15.1C.
Enjoy
