The GoodBye List Door By -Noel Software- Copyright (c) 1995 Thomas J. Smith Quick Setup Instructions ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Here are some quick and dirty installation instructions to get you going right away! If you are upgrading, go down to the section, "Upgrading." ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- New Install ------------- 1) Make a directory to hold the program. 2) Move (or copy) the INSTALL.BAT & FILES.ZIP files to this new directory and run the INSTALL.BAT program. 3) INSTALL will automatically load the GB Setup program. Make sure all of the configuration fields are set to your likings. If not, change em! ;) 4) Make SURE you run the "Node Setup" option in GB Setup to set up all of your nodes. The node setup creates NODE#.CFG files used to run the door. # will be the number of the node that each config file is for. 5) Create your batch file(s) for running the door from your BBS. In these/this batch file(s), you need to change to the doors home directory, and execute GBLIST.EXE with one command line parameter, the name of the config file for the node being loaded. The config files are named NODE#.CFG, where # is the config files node number. Example batch file for node 1, @ECHO OFF CD\DOORS\GBLIST GBLIST NODE1.CFG Example batch file for node 4, @ECHO OFF CD\DOORS\GBLIST GBLIST NODE4.CFG Make sure the NODE#.CFG files already exist! They will not exist until you run the "Node Setup" option in GB Setup, and save your info for each node. 6) If needed, setup the door in your BBS software. This door _is_ multi-node compatible, and it can be ran by more than one node at the same time. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Upgrading ----------- 1) Follow the same instructions as above for the installation part. Your current BBS's listed will NOT be overwritten, or erased. 2) Run GB Setup and make sure everything is in order to your likings. Remember, your current configuration _will_ be overwritten during the installation due to the format of the GBLIST.DAT file (config data) being changed. 3) If you are upgrading from v1.x, then you MUST run the included UPGRADE.EXE program after installation and setup, to convert your BBS.DAT file to the new format used by v2.x.
