This manual will guide you through the installation and helps you handling the software. Generally a Bulletin Board System (BBS) is a program which clearly arranges a lot of notes. Users also can read and write private mails or up- and download programs. Every operation is protected by a security level. GMC-BBS Version 2.40 is shareware. This means that you can make as many copies as you want and pass them to as many persons (also on electronic way) as possible. The share version is limited as follows: the box is ready only one week from date of first installation, the number of users, up- downloads, messages and private mails is limited to 15. In the following you find a listing of many details of the program - use- ful if you want to compare it with other programs. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Bulletins, messages and files can be arranged in maximal 100 directories with unlimited subdirectories. Each directory has it's own security level. Directories and subdirectories can contain any number of bulletins, messages and files. The limit is only the available disk space. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- GMC-BBS uses external and internal transfer protocols. At the moment "X-modem-checksum" and "x-modem-CRC" are integrated. The program switches automatically to the protocol of the caller. You can include external protocols such as X-modem, Y-modem, Z-modem, Bi-Modem etc. which correspond with XPR standard with the configuration file. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- The security level can be individually set for every user. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- All serial I/O-routines are optimized by hand for best performance. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- The SysOp can change time limit, security level, printer output, screen output, serial input and output online at any time. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Shortcuts for the main functions. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Usergroups with a special info text can be created and time limits can be given out unlimited. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- The emulations TTY, TTY+CLS, VT100/ANSI, VT100/ANSI+CLS can be set by every user. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Special characters are accepted. From OS 2.0 on you can use all graphic possibilities of the ANSI emulation with an IBM font. It is urgently recommended to use operating system 2.0 or higher. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- GMC-BBS was written for highest speed, reliability and flexibility. Efficient programming technique leads to 100% multitasking use under OS 1.2, 1.3, 2.0, 3.0 and 3.1. The program was written in C and tested on different machines. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- NTSC, PAL and drivers for the serial.device or for internal modems are configured in the TOOL-TYPES. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- The serial.device can be released to use other terminal programs without restarting GMC-BBS. You can switch the mailbox to "not ready" to backup your hard disk. During this time there will be no access on the hard disk or floppy disk. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Internal, external and highspeed modems are supported perfectly (e.g. higher DTE speed between computer and modem which allows data compression). -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Detecting fax call and transmission to external fax programs is possible. At the moment ready scripts for Multifax (TKR) and TrapFax (Village Tronic) are included. If your modem has no fax detection or your fax software cannot handle an existing line you can also connect an external fax switch. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Freely to configure and expand. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Multitasking will not be effected. You can do whatever you want, GMC-BBS is programmed correctly so it can run in the background. NOTE: There cannot be enough RAM. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Built in timer for automatically harddisk-parking. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Built in timer for periodically loading of the system time. The system time is checked and even the program will be stopped because suggestive working is not possible without correct time. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Online packing for download-files can be used by every user (e.g. LHA, LZH, ZOO, ARC, ...). After finishing the user gets a message. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- The flashing power LED shows you, if you had user in your mailbox. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Call Back function (A given number will be dialed and after connecting you will be in the Logon Sequence.) -------------------------------------------------------------------------- If the configuration of the modem is faulty the respective line will be printed which is very useful for correction. Slow modems are supported as well as fast modems. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Integrated up- and download ratio, which can be effective on files or bytes. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Automatic carriage return and line feed at the end of the line in the chat mode.
