Legal Aspects ------------- This software is written by me for pure fun and satisfaction of my users. If you use it on your system, you agree that I can't be responsible for any damage caused by this software. The only thing I will gurantee is, that it will take some bytes of diskspace until properly deleted. Terms of use ------------ Use it at your own risk. If you use it (and enjoy it), I would be happy to hear from you how it works for you. Maybe you have some ideas to implement in future versions. You don't have to pay for this software if you run your BBS for fun and don't charge your users. If you charge users for access or any other service or if you run your BBS in a commercial environment, you have to pay a regsitration fee (see end of this document for details). This allows you to use this, and all current versions on your BBS. Distribution of this Software ----------------------------- Feel free to give this software to everyone who could benefit from it. You are allowed to upload it to other BBS's, copy it on disks or however you could spread it. You are not allowed to modify the contents of this archive. So, distribute it only in it's original form and without any modifications. You may not charge people for getting it from you or from your BBS. 旼컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴� � Installation and Setup � 읕컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴� To install BLTLIST on your PCBoard 15.0 system, create a directory somewhere on your harddrive (you have a harddrive, do you ?) and unzip the archive into that directory (probably you already did that ). Run PCBSetup and edit your CMD.LST like this : 1) B 0 F:\PCB\PPE\BLTLIST.PPE This would replace the PCBoard's built in (B)ulletin command. Also you could setup a new command. Do it however you like it. Next copy the files HBLT and HBLT.GER to your \PCB\HELP directory (where all your other helpfiles are located). BLTLIST is completely Multilanguage aware, so you can create helpfiles for all languages on your system. The basic filename is HBLT.. If you don't know how to setup your system for multilanguage usage....read your PCBoard manual. Be happy, you managed the first half of the installation process ;-) Now copy the files BLTLIST and BLTLIST.GER to the directory where your BLT.LST file for the current conference is and edit them to reflect your Bulletin descriptions. Also you can edit the prompts and some other things. Take care of the result - I do not check the lenght for correctness. Now copy the file BLT.DAT to the same directoy and edit it to reflect the correct path and filenames for your bulletins. This will become obsolete in one of the next versions. Congratulations! You made it! 旼컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴� � Hints/Tips/Tricks � 읕컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴� � You can use an ASCII Editor to create the BLT.DAT file from your BLT.LST The pathnames must be in the same order as they are in PCBoard's setup and in your description files. � The BLT.LST and BLT.DAT files must have the same basename. So, if your BLT.LST would have the name EXP.LST, the according file for BLTLIST would be EXP.DAT. � If you don't want multiple languages, just delete the files with the language extensions. BLTLIST will then default to the files without language extension. 旼컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴� � What the program does � 읕컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴� Install it and see yourself. It's not too difficult to find out ... 旼컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴� � Commercial Use of this Software � 읕컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴� If you run a commercial BBS or charge your users or run your BBS in a commercial environment, you have to pay a small fee for the use of this program to be allowed to use it for more than 30 days. If you don't pay after 30 days of use and continue to use it, it's a violation of law! Keep that in mind. THERE IS NO REGISTRATION INFORMATION SHOWN TO YOUR CALLERS AND NO MESSAGE SAYING "UNREGISTRED EVALUATION COPY". I SIMPLY TRUST YOU THAT YOU PAY IF HIT THE ABOVE CONDITIONS. SO BE HONEST AND SUPPORT THIS CONCEPT. If you like to register your copy of BLTLIST, send $10 USD or DM 10,-- to the following address : Jens Mueller Roonstr. 4 24105 Kiel Germany Future versions may require a key file to operate in registered mode. The current version does not have any restrictions and doesn't need a key. But depending on how you support my concept of distribution, I will implement a key system in future versions.
