Last Updated 11/10/93
INTRODUCTION
This file, README.DOC, serves to present information about the
product which is not reflected in the TDBS manual. This includes
documentation errors, additions, and clarifications. PLEASE TAKE
THE TIME NOW TO READ THROUGH THIS FILE, or do so at your earliest
convenience.
SOFTWARE MODS
Even the best software has bugs when it is as complex as TDBS. In
order to keep your software current, eSoft distributes a program
update system to fix any bugs which we find in the software. You
can use this system to protect your software investment. Each fix
(called a mod) is assigned a number. This release includes all mods
up to and including:
┌────┐
│ 10 │ <--- MOD LEVEL OF THE SOFTWARE ON THESE DISKETTES
└────┘
The software update program (UPDATE.EXE) is on this diskette. The
latest software update data file (UPDATE.BIN) is always available at
no charge for download from the eSoft, Inc. Support Board (for access
information, see Chapter 12 of your TBBS manual). If you are experiencing
difficulty with the software, obtain and apply all newer mods before
taking any other action.
IMPORTANT NOTE!
The text of TDBS error message is contained in a separate file instead
of being integrated into the TDBS program as it was in previous versions
of TDBS. The file is named TDBSEMSG.TXT, and it *MUST* be placed in
the main TBBS directory on your hard disk - even if the TDBSOM.EXE file
is located elsewhere.
If the TDBSEMSG.TXT file is not located in the main TBBS directory, all
TDBS errors will report "unknown ecode" when displayed. If you are
experiencing this, make sure the error message file is located in the
main TBBS directory.
