                  Setup Guide for Arrowbridge II - 12/02/20 

1.  Install Arrowbridge II according to the instructions included in the 
    ab2v220.zip archive.
	
2.  Copy the AB2NODES.ABR file that you received from the League 77 LC into
    your Arrowbridge II directory.
                
3.  Run 'AB2TOOLS.EXE CREATE' to initialize your Arrowbridge II install.

4.  Run 'AB2TOOLS.EXE SETUP' to configure Arrowbridge II. Use the following
    settings for League 77 play. If your system does not use the following
    settings it will be labeled as cheating and may be banned from League 77.

    Under [G] Game Options use the following:

    [A] Seasons follow date (Y/N)         : Y
    [B] Hemisphere                        : N
    [C] Inactivity Days                   : 40
    [D] Max time per character            : 60

    The rest of the options are set by the League 77 LC so it will auto adjust
    once packets are flowing.

    Under [I] Inter-BBS Options set the following:

    [A] Mailer Type                 :

    Set Mailer Type to match your mailer type unless you are using dosemu
    then you can set it to 'None' so it doesn't create unneeded .msg files
    in your outbound (see dosemu instructions below).
	
    [B] League Tag (2 chars)        : 77
    [C] BBS Address                 : (Your SciNet Node Number)
    
    Under [P] Paths use the following as a guideline:

    [A] Arrowbridge II Path   : (Path to your Arrowbridge II Install)
    [B] Inbound File Path     : (Path to your FTN Inbound)
    [C] Outbound Mail Path    :

    You should set Outbound Mail Path: to your FTN Outbound unless you are
    running this under dosemu (see dosemu instructions below).

5.  Add the following lines to your interbbs batch file.

    (Be sure to edit the paths to reflect your system configuration.)

    d:
    cd \path\to\ab277
    ab2tools.exe inbound
    ab2tools.exe outbound

                              DOSEMU Instructions
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

  For those running Mystic or dosemu: Mystic BBS does not use the *.MSG
  format for netmail and Arrowbridge II uses netmail file attach to send the
  packets back to my system. You will have to script moving the outbound
  packets to a filebox created for my system, 77:1/100. It should look
  something like this in your echomail nodes entry for 77:1/100

  Make sure your set "Use Filebox" to yes and create a directory for the
  filebox under Filebox Dir.
    
  The same applies to any bbs running interbbs games through dosemu. The
  typical netmail attach method will not work as the paths created in the
  netmail message will be dos based and not linux based. Depending on what
  interbbs game you are running, you need to move any outbound packets to a
  filebox for my node via a script. In this games case, you will be moving
  anything created in the outbound directory to the filebox you setup for my
  system.

  You can create fileboxes for nodes in Mystic (see above), binkd (see
  examples in the binkd.cfg) and others. If you need help with getting this
  working, you can find it in the SCIGAME echo of SciNet.
