HSLINK.TXT
Enclosed is an example PROTOCOL.BBS file, which will run HSLINK
for you. Replace this new protocol.bbs with your old protocol.bbs
in your \powrbbs\config directory.
The protocol.bbs assumes you have hslink.exe, located in your
C:\Powrbbs directory.
To operate Hslink, your users should select the Download command. They
will then be able to select the files for download. Hslink will then
permit your users to upload files. PowerBBS will check for files when
the transfer is complete.
A new |MACRO| - |UPDIR| contains the transfer directory. This directory
is normally your c:\powrbbs\trans directory, which is a temporary directory
PowerBBS uses.
** In order to use the above MACROS and HSLINK, be sure your powrbbs.exe
file is dated June 9, 1992, or later.

PowerBBS for WINDOWS (Windows Version): This version of PowerBBS,
includes WINDOWS Protocols, and all the advanced features
that PowerBBS has to offer as a BBS. This bbs is
good, if you are looking to run your BBS on one computer
(without SHARE LOADED, as it is not needed). SHARING is not
supported in this version, but as long as you are running on one computer
(and do not have SHARE loaded) it should not be needed.
Normal Price is $95 per copy.
PowerBBS for WINDOWS (Windows Professional (Commercial) Version):
This version of PowerBBS, includes all the features of the Windows
Version. In addition, SHARING support is included for NETWORK
support. As long as you have WINDOWS working and configured for your
NETWORK, PowerBBS will use WINDOWS internal SHARING skemes
to make the information available to all your nodes.
You are licensed to use PowerBBS at one location (building or
a home), with this version. This is also a license to use PowerBBS
for Commerical use.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
The Professional Version includes built in capabilities to permit
your user to download and upload mail, using the QuickMail
standard.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Normal Price is $180 per copy.
PowerBBS (DOS Professional Version)
This version of PowerBBS is our DOS Version. It comes with a FOSSIL driver
that will permit you to run up to 25 lines on one computer using a
multitasker (compatable with Desqview). You lose out on the WINDOWS
capabilities, but PowerBBS for DOS runs much quicker (and also on XTs).
Using the INT 14 FOSSIL, you can easily set up and operate a multiline
bbs using Desqview (tm) and your favorite multiport card.
Normal Price is $95 per copy.

Notes on the SHAREWARE version:
PowerBBS for SHAREWARE, is a true shareware version. Everything is included
in this version, including Zmodem. The only difference between the shareware
version and the registered version, is the message that specifies UNREGISTERED
in PowerBBS (Shareware), will not be displayed in the REGISTERED version.
Also, be aware that Registered users will receive a PRINTED MANUAL, with a
TABLE of CONTENTS (not available in the .WRI format MANUAL).
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
To install WINDOWS version (Here is a BRIEF explanation. PLEASE read the
MANUAL on installation.):
1) Copy Powrmain.exe and Powrfile.exe onto a floppy. Put the floppy into
disk A or B.
2) run Install.exe. This is a WINDOWS application, and must be run
from WINDOWS.
3) READ The DOCS on installation.
--> PROTOCOL INFORMATION:
PowerBBS provides TWO protocol programs (both named PBBSPROT.EXE).
The one provided in powrmain.exe, and which will be installed is the
WINDOWS API pbbsprot. This version, uses the WINDOWS API to communication.
This is the highly recommended selection. DO NOT CHANGE THIS, unless you
are exactly sure of what you are doing.
The one available in protintr.exe is the PBBSPROT.EXE that does it's
communications internally! It does not use the Windows API! Just simply
unextract the PBBSPROT.EXE in Protintr.exe, and place it in your \Powrbbs
directory. Before doing this, be sure you know what you are doing, and have
the PBBSPROT.EXE already in your \powrbbs directory, saved.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
To install DOS version:
1) Copy Powrmain.exe and Powrfile.exe onto a floppy. Put the floppy into
disk A or B. Also copy WINANSI.exe, if you want to install WINANSI (an
ANSI editor for WINDOWS).
2) Run POWRDOS.EXE this file will extract the DOS specific files.
3) run Installd.exe.
4) Copy the DOS specific files (such as powrbbs.exe), that were extracted,
to your \Powrbbs directory.
5) READ The DOS specific documentation, that was extracted from POWRDOS.EXE
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
** UPDATE.DOC contains update information!
** PowerBBS for Windows requires a 286 or higher processor to run.
