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.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
To install DOS version:
1) Copy Powrmain.exe and Powrfile.exe onto a floppy. Put the floppy into
disk A or B. Also copy WINANSI.exe, if you want to install WINANSI (an
ANSI editor for WINDOWS).
2) Run POWRDOS.EXE this file will extract the DOS specific files.
3) run Installd.exe.
4) Copy the DOS specific files (such as powrbbs.exe), that were extracted,
to your \Powrbbs directory.
5) READ The DOS specific documentation, that was extracted from POWRDOS.EXE
