                    USBBSUP.EXE

Welcome to the remote USBBS List Update program.

This program will allow you to

   add a new entry to the list
   update an existing entry on the list
   request deletion of an existing entry on the list


             WHY HAVE AN UPDATE PROGRAM?

The USBBS list is selective in the boards that it lists.
Through experience, we have found that messages sent to
the editor do NOT carry enough information to assure that
the board can be accurately listed.  This script assures that
complete information is collected and minimizes the time
spent communicating updates to the editor.

                HOW WILL IT WORK?

This program will append information to a text file "USBBS.DAT"
You can then mail this file to the address supplied below or
upload it directly to BOBsBBS (916-929-7511).

To most effectively use this program, you should do the
following:

 Read the requirements for new boards on the list
 Have the most current edition of the USBBS list available
  and removed from the archive.  The file will be in the
  format USBBSxxx.LST where "xxx" is the edition number.

The program itself is a duplicate of the script on BOBsBBS
(916-929-7511).

Ŀ
 NOTE: Calling BOBsBBS or visiting our homepage at:				
   http://www.channel1.com/usbbs/									
 is still the *BEST* way to assure that your                       
 board's information will be updated.  I cannot guarantee that     
 updates send through Internet Mail will be received and applied   
 to the list!                                                      


                  HOW TO SEND THE UPDATE

This program produces the file USBBS.DAT. This file
contains the information necessary to update the board(s)
you have entered.

Mail or Upload USBBS.DAT by one of the following methods:

Internet Mail to:  breedlov@netcom.com
Upload to       :  BOBsBBS (916-929-7511)
                   Upload to the special option in the
                   (O)ther BBS (P)hone list feature.

If all information is complete and the board is accepted,
it will be listed in the next version of the USBBS list
after the update is received.

A final note:  This list is updated as a HOBBY and public
service by Bob Breedlove.  Every attempt is made to make
sure that qualified boards are accurately and quickly updated.

The best ways to assure that your update is considered:

- Call BOBsBBS directly at 916-929-7511. You can use the caller
  ID "USBBS UPDATE" (no password) to update your BBS entry
  quickly and easily.  You can also upload the UPDATE.DAT file
  produced by USBBSUP from this menu.
