1. Download the wwivedit zip from a trusted source

2. Extract to /sbbs/exec/wwivedit

3. Edit wwivedit\config\default.def and make sure the settings are as follows:

LOCAL: [N]
SETUP: [2]
RESULT: [2]
REPLY: [1]
COMPORT: [1]
FOSSIL: [1]

4. After editing the file, you will need to go into dosemu and run “h:\wwivedit\wwivedit -f” to compile the config. Simply run “usr/bin/dosemu.bin”, then type:

lredir H: linux\fs\sbbs\exec

cd wwivedit
wwivedit -f

5. Next, you need to make sure you have x00 fossil driver in your /sbbs/xtrn/dosutils dir. You may need to make this dir, and download x00 from somewhere.

rem @fossil.com
rem bnu.com /P1 /L0=11520
