Hey all!
I used to run a Synchronet BBS from the early 1990s until 2003 when we finally pulled the plug. While cleaning out my place I found a CD with the backup taken at the time and it was still readable. I was also pleasantly surprised finding out that Rob has continued developing the software and now I'd like to bring the BBS back online for people who used to visit.
I've been through docs but could not find the straightforward answer what would be the proper procedure to upgrade a 4-node MSDOS 2.30b SBBS to run under the current 3.19b version. I'm about to start tinkering, but any tips that would save me time and headache are welcome.
I suspect it is not as simple as installing 3.19b over existing c:\sbbs directory or am I wrong?
Thanks!
Tom
