Falken SIMBBS V7.05
by Herb Rose


SIMBBS is a BBS simulator to aid Falken door programmers in their testing.
To run the program, do the following :

Copy the contents of your Falken directory into a new directory, and copy
the SIMBBS.EXE file into the new directory.  You do this because you are
going to change BBSCFG somewhat.  Or run creatfil.exe, and
   > idxmaker msgansi.msg
   > idxmaker msgtext.msg
   > idxmaker msgrip.msg

Use BBSCFG to set up a Falken system with 8 lines defined, using FFFF as the
hardware address for all 8 lines.  Use XON/XOFF flow control, or NO flow
control.  No flow control is probably better.

Run SIMBBS

Use the F3 feature (Emulation channel) to log in on line 8.

Once you have started the Emulation, you may press ALT-F1 through ALT-F8
to activate logins on the other 8 lines.  Press ALT-F9 brings you back to the
emulation line.

Output to each line is stored until you switch to that line.  This allows you
to have 9 concurrent logins at the console, to test things with.

The hardware level I/O functions have been removed, and replaced with code
to hold output until you switch to that line.  The actual BBS code and
multitasker are EXACTLY what is running in Falken.
