This is a roughly put together document that will develope as time goes
on. I have seen a lot of questions about using FrontDoor and RBBS.
This group of files is in response so that no others need suffer as
I did learning how to do all this.

First of all I want to thank Mark Annis 1:115/989 for ALL his help!!!

Included in this document are a number of files that I use and a couple
RUN.BATs as examples for your review. You will need to have the documentation
for all the various programs to work out the details for your system.

If you examine the RUN.BAT included here, you will see alot of documentation
within the file. I use it to let me know what I did.

A FEW MORE NOTES:

For RBBS my MESSAGES file is called MAINM. and the USERS file is called
MAINU. I made this change so that when the RBBS Conference Mail notifier
is enabled, rather than comming up and telling the User that NEW MESSAGES
in Users.... It will say new messages in MAIN. Also while doing this I
noticed that RBBS Config does not like it when your MAIN message base
has a .DEF with it as a confernce would. That is why no .def with MAINU
and MAINM.

The *.def files included are my RBBS-PC.def, RBBS1PC.DEF and RBBS3PC.def.
The rbbs1pc.def is the one invoked initially. There was a problem with
returning from doors so I also have the RBBS-PC.def which when existing
cleared up the problem. Of course I was and or am still doing something
not exactly correct, but what the heck... It works now. The RBBS3PC.def
is called as the LOCAL logon.

MYRBBS2  DEF     2254 = RBBS-PC.DEF
MYRBBS1  DEF     2253 = RBBS1PC.DEF
LCLRBBS3 DEF     2315 = RBBS3PC.DEF
