Please note that we send the SAME MANUAL for the DOS and WINDOWS
programs. Everything in the WINDOWS version that does not pertain
to WINDOWS itself, is the same in the DOS version.
Be aware of the following DOS ONLY differences:
--> This is important new information on INSTALL!
After running INSTALL.EXE, you must run CONFIG.
First enter section [B] to create the forum area. Be sure
the paths are set correctly.
Second enter section [E] to edit the language files. Type
1 to create the Default language file.
You must start PowerBBS with START.BAT. You should place START.BAT
in your PATH.
PBBSPROT.EXE is our transfer protocol. Is uses the INT 14, so you
can only use it when you have this setup. Included are X and Y
modem. If you want to use this, you have to delete the Zmodem setup
in your protocol.bbs, as Zmodem is not currently supported.
If you are not using INT14, replace the PROTOCOL.BBS on this disk,
into your \PowrBBS\Config directory. This is the DSZ setup. You
will need DSZ.COM in your PATH.
You MUST load ANSI.SYS in your CONFIG.SYS for COLOR. The
internal ANSI Translator is only in the WINDOWS Version. The ANSI.SYS
/ZANSI.SYS, etc, happen to be quicker anyhow.
If you are using COMMDRV, you MUST set up the modem section to answer
automatically. This usually means: S0=1 in your MODEM init, and
Answer by Ring? Set to No
The DOS Version: Use DTR to drop caller? Should be set to Yes.
Type Home/PgUp/PgDn for User Information, while a caller is online in
the DOS version. For example, type F8 to drop to dos.
