 +===== Use Defaults =====
  
 +The default values of all the ''text.dat'' strings are stored in the Synchronet Terminal Server library (''sbbs.dll'', ''libsbbs.so'').
 +
 +To use all default text strings you can either:
 +
 +1. Download the ''[[https://gitlab.synchro.net/sbbs/sbbs/-/commits/master/ctrl/text.dat|text.dat]]'' revision from the Source Repository which correlates with the executables you're using and overwrite your local file, or
 +
 +2. Replace (overwrite) your ''text.dat'' file with a 0-length file (each 'missing' string is replaced with the default string), e.g. (on *nix):
 +
 +  cp /dev/null /sbbs/ctrl/text.dat
