    Okay cool were do we get a copy of this sbbsecho.exe ver 300

    You have to download the _dev from ftp://vert.synchro.net/synchronet and update all the exe files.

    Before you update shutdown the control panel, goto: http://cvs.synchro.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/exec/sbbsecho_upgrade.js?view=log and download that .js file into your exec folder. (v1.10)

    Open a command prompt, go to ..\sbbs\exec and type:

    JSEXEC sbbsecho_update.js

    This will convert your sbbsecho.ctl to sbbsecho.ini and also change the name of sbbsecho.ctl to sbbsecho.ctl.old

    Restart the control panel and you're done.

    Your echocfg.exe has also been changed so you may want to review that while you're at the CMD prompt.


    Enjoy..

    Hiya Ian...

    so if I backup sbbs\exec directory first I should be safe, just
    incase same thing goes wrong.

    Yes, I would at least make a backup of your sbbsecho.ctl file as the upgrade will change it's name.to sbbsecho.ctl.old. It will still be in the ..\sbbs\ctrl folder.

    is there any thing I sould now about the binkd/flo in sbbsecho.cfg or should things just work as normal

    No, the conversion will create a sbbsecho.ini file. DM is no longer using
    the .cfg format anymore.

    When I updated, everything converted properly to the new style so I doubt you'll have any issues.

    Also, as I previously stated, echocfg has also changed so you may want to
    look at that structure as well.

    Enjoy...

    Sysops should not need to run sbbsecho_upgrade.js multiple times. The
    only exception is if there was a problem in the conversion from sbbsecho.cfg -> sbbsecho.ini and you know that problem was fixed in a newer version of the upgrade script. In that case, you can either fix
    the problem by hand (e.g. the missing "route" values) or rename sbbsecho.cfg.old to sbbsecho.cfg and re-run the script. But note: if
    you re-run the upgrade script, any changes made to your sbbsecho.ini
    (by hand or using echocfg v3) will be lost.

    Understood.... :)
