              Setup Guide for Barren Realms Elite - 03/07/19

1.  Install BRE according to the instructions included in the brev988.zip 
    archive.

2.  Change to your BRE directory and run BRE IPSETUP to configure your 
    BBS.CFG file. Or manually edit the one included. Our league number is
    77. If you are running this under dosemu you can set the "Front End
    Mailer" to NONE. This will not create *.msg files and therefor you
    won't have to worry about deleting *.msg files from your nonfunctioning
    netmail directory.

3.  Obtain an updated BRNODES.DAT files from the League 77 LC and copy it to 
    your BRE directory.

4.  Add the following to the RESOURCE.DAT file to ensure recon updates work.

    ReconUpdate             2
    OldestRecon             1
    TimingCheck             1

5.  Run 'BRE RESET' and configure BRE according to the brerules.txt file 
    located in the setup dir of the SciNet info pack archive.

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

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

    d:
    cd \path\to\bre77
    bre.exe REQUEST
    bre.exe RECON
    bre.exe PLANETARY
    bre.exe BBSINFO

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

  For those running Mystic or dosemu: Mystic BBS does not use the *.MSG
  format for netmail and Barren Realms 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.
