Part 1:			INTRODUCTION
-------			------------

Well, i've just got an assignment from Leviathan to write a little txt-file
with some Tips & Tricks on how to run the BBS-Ware iNSTiNCT under DesqView.
I would just like to say a few words about my hardware too.

BBS-Computer:
-------------
486 DX2-66MHz
32MB RAM
Quantum Scirocco 2550 MB
Quantum Fireball 1280MB
NEC 1650MB
TSENG ET4000 1MB ISA GFX-Card
MAG 14" Monitor
NE2000 16-Bits Netcard
USRobotics Sportster Vi 33k6
USRobotics Sportster Vi 33k6

SERVER:
-------
Pentium 150MHz
64MB RAM
Quantum Fireball 1280MB
Fujitsu 1080MB
TSENG ET4000 1MB W32P PCI GFX-Card
MAG 15" Monitor
Mitsumi 6X CD-ROM
Mirosound PFM 10, 2MB RAM
NE2000 16-Bits Netcard
X-Link 28k8i 

PART 2 :		WHAT DO I NEED?
--------		---------------

The programs i use are :

1: DOS 6.22
2: QEMM V7.5 
3: DesqView V2.7
4: DGANSI18.COM
5: Norton CACHE (Included in Norton Utilities)
6: Lantastic 7.0

 
PART 3:			WHAT DO THEY DO?
-------			----------------

1: Well , i think that most of you know what DOS does? 
If you don't, Steal the manual, and help yourself.

2: This is an excellent memory-manager program. It frees up a whole lot
more memory then Memmaker does. Which is good if you run a lot of Doors in iTC. 

3: This is where the multitasking comes. "Feels" a little slow, but that's
just how it looks. I've got a lot of comments of how fast OVERdOZE is running,
so i should know.  

4: DGANSI18.COM is a replacement for DOS:s ANSI.SYS. 
You need this for some doors in iTC. 
Or else, all the users see is a lot of ansi-codes and shit.  

5: Norton Cache is a program that comes with Norton Utilities.
When you run a BBS , you simply got to have some kind of caching program.
If you dont want your harddrive to have a major breakdown that is.
Feel free to use whatever cache-program you like.

6: Lantastic is a quite nice net-proggie in my opinion. It got all what
you need, and best of all, you can even share your keyboard and monitor
with the other computer. Which is VERY nice! Now you dont need 5 monitors
and keyboards just because you've got 5 computers =) 
But if you only got one computer, you don't need this of course...

PART 4:			HOW DO I SET THEM UP?
-------			---------------------

1: I think that you can manage to set up DOS on your own?
BTW: Dont forget to load SHARE.EXE though.

2: First you run Setup, then it automaticly runs OPTIMIZE.EXE, to test
a lot of different memory-configurations. If you ever change something
in your AUTOEXEC.BAT or CONFIG.SYS, you have to run OPTIMIZE again.
After it's installed just reboot , and it will load all necessary drivers
and programs.

3: Run DV.EXE, choose "OPEN WINDOW" and then "BIG DOS". And there you have one
window, to get more, just push ALT and do the same procedure once more.
And to change between the open windows, simply push ALT 2 times in a row (FAST!)
To change the settings of the different choices, just push ALT and choose
"Change a Program" and select the program you wish to change.

4: Just put DGANSI18.COM in your favourite directory,
And put C:\FAVOURITE\DGANSI18.COM in your BBS.BAT,
so that it loads everytime you start that node.
If you're running a Multinode board (Which you probably are)just put it in ALL 
of your BBS*.BAT-files.
It wont work if you LOAD it in AUTOEXEC.BAT, because you load a new window 
when you're inside DesqView.

5: Just load Norton Cache in your AUTOEXEC.BAT, the commandline is as follows:
C:\NU\NCACHE2 INSTALL MULTITASK=ON

6: Read the manual =) (Or docs)

Part 5: 			MISC
-------				----

Now you've got it all up and running. Dont be alarmed just because it 
looks slow, It isn't , it just looks that way. The users won't see it 
like you see it. It runs more smoothly on their system, 
dont ask me why though.
