INTER-BBS INSTRUCTIONS (Using Sunrise-80 BBS as Your HUB) (Can be used as a template for those that have set themselves up as HUBS) --------------------------------------------------------------------------- (1) Contact Al Lawrence (Sysop), VOICE, to obtain a unique NODE number. Do not assign one yourself as duplicate numbers will mean your scores will not be recognized. (NOTE: You would contact me ONLY if you want to use Sunrise-80 as your HUB, else contact your HUB). (2) To Upload/Download files while logged on to the BBS: a. Upload your YYYYYY0.xxx and/or YYYYYY1.xxx (YYYYYY = DoorName and xxx=your assigned NODE number) file(s) to Sunrise-80 BBS. At the Main Command prompt type: U HIROLL0.xxx (xxx=your assigned NODE number). <- Score file U HIROLL1.xxx (xxx=your assigned NODE number). <- Message file When asked for a description enter: / any data at all.. the / is IMPORTANT You will receive a message from the BBS that the upload was unsuccessful or something of that nature. Disregard it since all it means is that it did not like the format you uploaded in (ie: it did not have a ZIP extension). NOTE: You can not ZIP up individual score files, but you CAN ZIP all your individual score files and Message files into ONE ZIP file and then upload that file, rather than individual files. If you chose this option, you MUST use a filename of anyname.xxx, where xxx=your node number. Be sure to let Al Lawrence know what you are using for the ZIPPED file name, BEFORE you transmit for the first time. b. During the same call you would Download the latest consolidated door score file and Message file (naming convention would be the same as uploading an indvidual file (ie: Hiroll0.xxx and Hiroll1.xxx) with the exception that the extension will ALWAYS be .001). If you wanted to download ALL the .001 SCORE files you would download a ZIPPED file named INTERBBS.ALL. If you wanted to download ALL the .001 MESSAGE files you would download a ZIPPED file named INTERBBS.MSG D HIROLL0.001. D.HIROLL1.001 or or D INTERBBS.ALL D INTERBBS.MSG You would then run INTERBBS on your system to import the latest consolidated file(s). Of course, you will first have to unZIP the INTERBBS.ALL/INTERBBS.MSG files and place the .001 files in their respective directories. (3) If using a Front-End program to transfer files you can follow the instructions above, with the exception of the SPECIFIC instructions that pertain to logging on a BBS and uploading. You would instead send the appropriate files and in the same session you would FREQ either the indivual .001 file(s) or FREQ: INTERBBS.ALL and INTERBBS.MSG (4) On the first of the month you must ensure that your last score file, that contains the final scores for the prior month, makes it to Sunrise-80 BBS no later than 0930 EST. Failure to send by that time will mean that any scores accumulated since your last transmission will not be figured into the prior month's High Score calculation. (5) Depending on the Door game, you must ensure that the following information for each Door, is what is in the doors CFG file. Failure to have the same values in the CFG file will result in the file being rejected. See CFGVALUE.TXT that accompanies this file, for required CFG entries that MUST be used when using Sunrise -80 as your HUB!!
