THANK YOU FOR PURCHASING THE TDBS GAMEPAK!
------------------------------------------
Enclosed on these four (4) diskettes is a group of software programs that
represent one of the greatest values we've ever offered. You received over
$700 worth of software for just $195. This incredible opportunity allows you
and your users to explore the world of TDBS and on-line games for a value
price. It's our way of saying "thanks" for sticking with us through a year of
phenominal growth and expansion.
----------
TDBS TMODS
----------
Like the TBBS package you already own, field modifications or "MODS" are
issued periodically to fix reported bugs in the software as they are
discovered and repaired. For TDBS, these MODS are called "TMODS" and are made
available from the eSoft Support Board at (303) 699-8222. Select <M>ODS from
the Main Menu on the system, then select <2> for TDBS. When TMODS are made
available, download the TMODS for the 16-user TDBS, and apply them in the
normal manner. The special run-time, 4-user version of TDBS enclosed on this
diskette was engineered specifically to accept 16-user TMODS without
difficulty.
NOTE: TMODS through MLTMOD3 have already been applied to the run-time TDBS on
this diskette, and do not need to be reapplied. If any TMODS are published in
the future, they will need to be installed to keep your system up to the
latest release level.
A special batch file, TAPPLY.BAT, is included on this diskette to apply TMODS.
Refer to the file HOW2TMOD for instructions on the TMOD application process.
--------
WARNING!
--------
In order for the TDBS GamePak to operate correctly with your TBBS, please make
certain that your TBBS has been brought current on required MODS. Some
required MODS are necessary in order for any version of TDBS to operate, so
take a moment to obtain and apply TBBS required MODS to assure problem-free
operation of the TDBS module.
