+*****UPDATING YOUR LOCAL LIBRARIES******
+
+Before you attempt to install the inter-BBS service, it is recommended that you
+update your relative 'EXEC/' and 'EXEC/LOAD/' paths (typically '/SBBS/EXEC' and '/SBBS/EXEC/LOAD')
+with the latest files from the Synchronet CVS repository at:
+
+ http://cvs.synchro.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/
+
+ RECOMMENDED UPDATES:
+
+ http://cvs.synchro.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/*checkout*/exec/load/funclib.js
+ http://cvs.synchro.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/*checkout*/exec/load/calendar.js
+ http://cvs.synchro.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/*checkout*/exec/load/timer.js

+ http://cvs.synchro.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/*checkout*/exec/load/msgwndw.js
+ http://cvs.synchro.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/*checkout*/exec/load/scrollbar.js
+
+ NOTE: Replace any outdated local copies with the latest release from the links.
+
+*****SETTING UP INTER-BBS SERVICE WITH SYNCHRONET*****
+
+The inter-BBS features of this program require that the appropriate services be configured,
+and that all of your files are up to date. The following files are needed to operate
+this program in inter-BBS mode, and can be downloaded from the Synchronet CVS repository at:
+
+ http://cvs.synchro.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/
+
+ http://cvs.synchro.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/*checkout*/exec/commservice.js
+ http://cvs.synchro.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/*checkout*/exec/load/commclient.js
+ http://cvs.synchro.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/*checkout*/exec/load/chateng.js
+ http://cvs.synchro.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/*checkout*/exec/load/filesync.js
+ http://cvs.synchro.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/*checkout*/ctrl/filesync.ini
+
+ NOTE: Placing these files in their corresponding local equivalent locations
+ will make configuration much easier.
+
+[COMMSERVICE.JS]
+
+ This is a static service that must be included in /ctrl/services.ini in order to
+ accept connections and relay information to and from the main hub. It is critical
+ for this to be set up properly, for the programs that depend on it will not function
+ properly without it.
+
+ This file must be placed in your relative 'EXEC/' or 'MODS/' path (typically '/SBBS/EXEC/').
+ Once the file is in place, you must add the following to your 'CTRL/SERVICES.INI' file:
+
+ [Commserv]
+ Port=10088
+ MaxClients=20
+ Options=STATIC
+ Command=commservice.js thebrokenbubble.com 10088
+
+ NOTE: there are two arguments on the command line that tell the service the address and
+ port of the main hub, which by default is the Broken Bubble BBS, on port 10088. If
+ you wish to act as your own hub (e.g. start your own league), simple remove both
+ arguments from the command line, and direct league nodes to add your URL and port
+ to their SERVICES.INI file. If your system operates on multiple machines and you wish
+ to share data between local nodes ONLY, setting up this service as a hub makes
+ this possible as well.
+
+ NOTE: You should also double check to make sure that your services are running
+
+[COMMCLIENT.JS]
+
+ This is the dedicated client that connects to the inter-BBS service. This file handles
+ the transmission of data to and from the service, as well as managing file synchronization
+ for the client (this program). This file is critical for the successful operation of this program
+ in inter-BBS mode.
+
+ The file must be placed in your relative 'EXEC/LOAD/' or 'MODS/LOAD/' path (typically '/SBBS/EXEC/LOAD/').
+ There is no further setup required for this to work (unless you changed the default 'Port' setting for the service
+ in SERVICES.INI).
+
+[CHATENG.JS]
+
+ This handles all inbound/outbound chat messages, and packages them for delivery via the client and service.
+ this also contains the necessary objects to implement a chat room (windowed or fullscreen).
+
+ NOTE: while this particular program may not have chat features, the service itself still may
+ require this file to be present.
+
+[FILESYNC.JS]
+
+ This works in conjunction with the service, handling file synchronization requests from clients
+ and routing them, if necessary, to the main hub. File synchronization for inter-BBS programs will not
+ function if this file is missing.
+
+ The file must be placed in your relative 'EXEC/LOAD/' or 'MODS/LOAD/' path (typically '/SBBS/EXEC/LOAD/').
+ There is no further setup required for this to work.
+
+[FILESYNC.INI]
+
+ This file tells FILESYNC.JS and COMMCLIENT.JS where to store/retrieve inbound/outbound transfers
+ coming from the client and the service.
+
+ This file is critical for the service to operate properly. If you have installed the programs that
+ use this service to their default locations, no additional configuration should be required.
+
+Please report any bugs, issues or questions to: mcmlxxix at bbs dot thebrokenbubble dot com
