HOW TO SETUP StoBBS:
-------------------
          StoBBS is very simple to setup. All you have to do is
run at the command line: 'StoBBS Setup'. Do note type the " ' "
character. It is just shown their for explanatory purposes. As
far as the configuration goes, first setup the bbsnames, then the
comport. If you are registered you then have to setup the default
system to load. Ex BBS Name Screen:

          1.  PCBoard (R) 14.5a
          2.  Telegard 2.7
          3.  WildCat
          4.  Not Set
           (MORE TO MENU, BUT NOT SHOWN)




       etc, etc. Each bbs number, such as 1 = PCBoard (R) 14.5a
is the errorlevel that StoBBS will exit with. If the carrier is
lost or isn't found it will exit with error level 253.

          Example follows in next section.


HOW TO USE STOBBS:
-------------------
          Here is an example batch files:
:RUNSTOB
D:
CD\FD
RUNFD.BAT
C:
CD\BBS
STOBBS

IF ERRORLEVEL 253 goto nocarr rem ERR. LEVEL 253 means that
                              rem carrier was lost or no carrier
                              rem was detected

IF ERRORLEVEL 5 goto BBS5     rem The bbs number is the
                              rem errorlevel that stobbs exits
                              rem with.

IF ERRORLEVEL 4 goto BBS4

IF ERRORLEVEL 3 goto BBS3

etc.. etc...

      If you don't understand how to use it, contact one of
SideDoor Software Support Sites.. Preferably the main support
site for more help.
