Digital Dynamics Technical Bulletin #1002 (xx/xx/96) Answers to Frequently Asked Questions about Synchronet BBS Software Version 2.x =============================================================================== Additional Local Node --------------------- Q. I'm trying to run an extra local node (e.g. Node 3 with a 2 node key file) and am having lock-ups and/or "error - closing logfile" messages. A. There is a bug in SBBS v2.20 rev B that does NOT allow the use of an add'l local node. Either use v2.20 rev A, or upgrade to v2.30 (or later). Versions prior to 2.2 do not allow the use of an add'l local node. Incorrect TEXT.DAT ------------------ Q. I'm using v2.30+ of SBBS and when a user lists the message/file/chat areas, they appear as garbage characters. A. You're using an old TEXT.DAT file. Use the TEXT.DAT included with v2.30 or refer to the file DOCS\TEXT230A.DIF.
