I'm preparing a v3.16 Windows installation package (yes, an official release of ãv3.16b, no the 'b' does not stand for 'beta').ããI could use your test results and feedback. This is for *new* installs only ã(not for use for upgrading existing installations), on Windows XP SP3 and ãlater: http://vert.synchro.net/setup.exeããInstalling on a spare computer or VM and testing all the features and providing ãexpedient feedback would be greatly appreciated.ããThis installer can install Synchronet as NT services and SEXPOTS (for dial-up ãsupport) automatically if you choose. The FOSSIL/VUART driver (sbbsexec.dll) ãshould be automatically copied to the system32 directory during installation. ãWhen installing on 64-bit editions, the 16-bit DOS program support should be ãautomatically disabled in the sbbs.ini as well (gracefully refusing to try to ãrun 16-bit DOS programs).ããDo *not* install over your existing Synchronet installation if you have one as ãthis will wipe out your existing configuration and data files. Just don't do ãit. :-)ããOf most interest are the included 3rd party components (e.g. slyedit, games, ãweb UIs). Please test these and provide your feedback.ããThe version number and copyright date will change in the final build, but no ãother changes are currently planned for the v3.16b release.ããThanks,ãã digital manããSynchronet "Real Fact" #83:ãThe Electronic Frontier Foundation used to run Synchronet (circa 1993).ãNorco, CA WX: 80.0øF, 33.0% humidity, 13 mph ENE wind, 0.00 inches rain/24hrsã---ã þ Synchronet þ Vertrauen þ Home of Synchronet þ [vert/cvs/bbs].synchro.netã
