If you distribute just the .MRGs and an .EXE, each SysOp will still be
required to have a "vanilla" RBBS-PC system.  That's what we're going
for - we want the user to realize that he is just getting a custom MOD
from you, not a whole new system.  That should be enough to make him
realize where the bugs come from.

If your .EXE has the RBBS-PC version number (I assume it's based on
17.4) and then a MOD note in the VERSION$ variable, I don't have a
problem.

The above is a reply to me from Doug Azzarito concerning the distribution of
the BusiMod (tm) .EXE files.  Please be advised of the following:

1.  Doug has been gracious in granting us permission to distribute the
    BusiMod (tm) modified .EXE files in order to save YOU, the SysOp, the
    bother and work of recompiling the software in order to use the
    BusiMod mods.  PLEASE...  Do NOT call Doug Azzarito's nor Ken Goosens
    BBSes for support of the BusiMod modified RBBS code.  The BusiMod modified
    code is independently created from the base RBBS code.  Doug and Ken are
    not prepared to support the BusiMod mods, nor are they involved in their
    developement.  If you have any problems/suggestions/questions, please direct
    them to the boards listed below.

2.  You MUST have a copy of "vanilla" RBBS already running in order to make use
    of the BusiMod modified .EXE files.  Do NOT attempt to set up a BusiMod
    modified RBBS from scratch.  You will not know if your problems are related
    to the BusiMod mods or setup problems with RBBS.  This will lead to
    confusion on your part and those who are here to support you.

3.  You MUST also have a copy of the related merge files.  The BusiMod mod
    package comes in 3 files:

                      BMxxxx-A.ZIP - the modifications and documentation.  This
                                     includes the main mods, VBDOS mods and
                                     the Special Edition mods (all built
                                     in) for compatibiliy with RBatch.
                      BMxxxx-B.ZIP - .EXE files for 286 and up machines
                      BMxxxx-C.ZIP - .EXE files for 8088 and up machines

    YOU MUST HAVE THE DOCUMENTATION AND ADDITIONAL SETUP FILES CONTAINED IN THE
    BMxxxx-A.ZIP FILE!!!
