- Download GameSrv (GameSrv archives INCLUDES NetFoss, the free fossil driver you will need)
- Unzip archive (with paths; -d under PKunzip) into a proper location (default setup shows C:\GameSrv)
- Run GameSrv.exe to setup the package
- Select 2nd tab labeled config
- Select your port (normally 23)
- Select your number of nodes for telnet usage
- Select mode as 'External' -- this is so you can run WWIV!
- Select your desired program visibility -- I picked Minimized which will minimize WWIV when executed
- Leave LBY settings as default -- not used by NetFoss
- Fill in your command line -- example: c:\bbs\bbs.bat
- Select NetFossil as Fossil driver
- My setup.ini file looks like this:
---------------------------------
[config]
lby=50
mode=1
nodes=1
port=23
visibility=1
[external]
command=C:\BBS_PATH\BBS.BAT *N
fossil=1
---------------------------------
- Make your batch file. My batch file looks like this:
-----------------------------------------------------
SET WWIV_INSTANCE=%1
cd\BBS_PATH
bbs.exe /B115200 /S115200 /O /I%1
-----------------------------------------------------
** This locks port @ 115200 and tells WWIV that someone is on at that speed. It also tells WWIV to shut down after the user logs off as GameSrv will launch it again as needed. The last parameter says which instance (node) to use.
- That's it!
Good luck!
PS-- I modeled this after the Remote Access setup notes in the NetFoss docs so look there for more info if needed.
