ZDCS.TXT

  
   This text file will show you how to add the ZDCS Duplicate System
   On a multi Node PCBoard system.
 
   Node 1 the server will have all the files in the ZDCS package in its 
   ZDCS directorie, Omit the docs and other non important things..

   Node 1 is where the Data base files will be stored.
      If you file base is rather large make sure you have enough drive
      space for the zdcs data base files! 

   You need to create a file called dlpath.lst see the docs and the example
   if you need. omit the upload dir in this list.

   Follow the instructions on how to make the data base files, And run the 
   program now its going to take some time to do this if your file base is
   large but its worth the extra space you will save in the long run!

 This is all for node 1 the server.
   
  The next step...
 
     It doesnt matter how many other nodes you have just as long as these 
     instructions are followed!

   On each of the nodes make a directorie called ZDCS off the root dir.

  In each of these dirs put the files...

    ZDCSFC.EXE
    ZDCS.CFG    



  And on each of the nodes edit the autoexec.bat file and put ZDCS in a
  PATH. For that node *only*

  Make sure your zdcs.cfg file is made in such a way that it calles the 
   Networked drive letter for the servers hard drive where all the data base
   files are stored.

  real hard eh. 
   
   Then the next thing to do is..
 
    If you going to use the ExzTest program from andy keeves 
    You will have to edit the pcbtest.bat file..

   Looks something like this.

  @Echo Off
  ExzTest %1 %2
  If errorlevel 3 goto ZDCS
  GoTo end
  :ZDCS
  ZDCSFC %1 %3     <- there is a %2 that is passed but i dont use it.
  PCBdesc %1 %3
  :End

   It really doesnt matter where PCBdesc is in the chain Pcboard will 
   pull that out by itself from what i have seen.

   But please keep in mind that this works for me and my not for *YOU* 
   so dont get mad at me because you deleted a few files in the proccess
   of setting this up.

   Iam always open for help if you need it! 
    You can reach me VIA almost any RIME echo conferences R/O ->NSTTZ
    or you can call my bbs at 714-879-4052 and leave me a comment to the nature
    of the help you need..
 
  Since i have been out of a job now for some time i have the time to do 
  things like this.. and keeping a bbs running you well know costs $$$ 
  at some points in time it will nickle and dime you to death.
