Upgrade information for Master-B version 3.00 To upgrade, execute the file MBV3.EXE, read this one, and edit your current configuration. Config File changeover: Far left column is the line number, next column to the right is what the configuration file USED to be, the IS column is what the config NOW is, and the Previously line # shows the line numbers the new version takes from the old version. You can do the conversion yourself with a text editor. It's pretty easy... LINE # WAS **IS** Previously line # LINE 1 Path\Name of ascii file | Your BBS type (See Below) N/A LINE 2 Path\Name of ansi file | (/#) Where # is from 1 to 7 N/A LINE 3 Ansi before display | Your name *ONLY* N/A LINE 4 Ansi after display | BBS name REPLACES 7 LINE 5 Ascii before display | Ansi-BBS-name codes 8 LINE 6 Ascii after display | Your registration number N/A LINE 7 Name of BBS or personal name | Path\Name of ascii file 1 LINE 8 Ansi-Name codes | Path\Name of ansi file 2 LINE 9 Bulletin\Path\ | Ansi before display 3 LINE 10 The filenames | Ansi after display 4 LINE 11 The filenames | Ascii before display 5 LINE 12 The filenames | Ascii after display 6 LINE 13 The filenames | Bulletin\Path 9 LINE 14 The filenames | Same as line 10 downward **Valid BBS types are {CASE IS SENSITIVE!!!!} /PCBoard for PCBoard, /#, /RA, and /Other PLEASE READ ON!! /PCBoard systems will change the Bulletin\Path to the PATH (including the backslash) of their BLT.LST file. The PCBoard sysop can then delete the filenames of lines 14 downward, but KEEP THE DESCRIPTION. Edit it so that the descriptions start in column 1, or, start them in row 2 if you want a spacing character in the display file. The bulletin-names are retrieved from the PCBoard's BLT.LST file, so you don't need to list them here. Just make sure your BLT.LST and your Master-B config file keep updated together. /# Is for numerically listed bulletins (ie SpitFire, Searchlight, RyBBS). Users of this format do not need to change the filenames already listed. So, leave lines after (and including) 10 alone. /RA for alphabetically listed bulletins (ie sysop-configured systems like Maximus, RemoteAccess, QuickBBS, etc.). Users of this format do not need to change the filenames or descriptions already listed. So, leave lines after (and including) 10 alone. /Other will probably NOT be used as an upgrade, but I'll include it in here just for the heck of it. Since it's hard to explain, here's an example: | <--- Left column AB BULLETIN.ASC Description here First is the 1, 2, or three letter/number/whatever name of your bulletin, the filename starts at column 4, and the description starts at line 17. You can edit this to your liking. Use this if your Bulletins are named 'strangely', or, in a system where your first bulletin is 1A, your second is 1B, or any other 'odd' naming convention where you need to define the names yourself. You may need to check the documentation for this option. If you have any questions, check the documentation. If you still have questions, don't hesitate to contact me, Scott Fell, at Quandra BBS (602)527-8895 for installation (or upgrade) instructions.
