INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

To install WinExpress: copy all of the files to a floppy and use the run
command in Windows. When entering the baud rate of your computer enter the
highest rate the modem can support. Once the installation is finished
create an icon for winbbs.exe. The BBS should function properly from this
point on. REMEMBER: This is a demo version and is restricted in many areas.


HOW TO LOG IN FROM CONSOLE

Once the installation is finished you can now log into the bbs. Click
on the LOCAL keyword. This will allow you to log into the bbs.

_____________________________
Boot Config Local Chat Exit LOCAL LOGON
______________________________
^

You will be prompted for a Alias name - enter: NEW
This can be changed after you exit the local logon. To change user settings
click on the config keyword. Even though you are logged into the bbs or
modifying a users record the bbs is still running in the background
accepting calls.

CONFIG.DAT

If you wish to modify the config.dat file this will help.


Line 1 baud rate
Line 2 Comport
Line 3 Drive
Line 4 Modem Initializing String
Line 5 Accept new users Y or N
Line 6 When sysop is not around to chat
Line 7 Time to execute event. No event use --:--:--
Line 8 File name to Execute for line 7.
Line 9 CPU time for bbs 1-50 Lowest priority to highest. 1 lowest-50 Highest
This you can play with to find the best value. If the settings for
this function are incorrect you will notice it when typing.




Each message Sig (base) can have its own bulletin which can be accessed by
pressing "." at the prompt. To create a bulletin for message Sig 3 create
a file called BULL3, and so on for each message Sig. These files MUST be
placed in the FILES sub-directory.


ACCESS CODES

New users receive an access code of 1. Most functions are restricted at this
level. Anything higher than 1 will allow users to use various functions
on the bbs. Access 20 is for the SYSOP. The remaining access codes are not
implemented in the DEMO version.


It is highly recommended to use COM1 or COM2 for WinExpress.

However, if you must use COM3 or COM4 then place these statments in
the SYSTEM.INI file:

Look for: [386Enh] and add the following three lines under it.
COM3Base=3E8h
COM4base=2E8h
COMIrqSharing=1
