RENUMBER.EXE
NK3T_REN.BAT
NK3T_RES.BAT

This program renumbers the message files for the FBB BBS system. Please
back up your files before use. The program modifies DIRMES.SYS, INF.SYS,
WFBID.SYS and all the mail files.

The program should be run from the drive on which FBB resides. The program
assumes the standard FBB directory structure, system files in \FBB\SYSTEM
and the mail files in \FBB\MAIL\MAIL0 - MAIL9. The program takes one
arguement, a number to start the new number sequence. The program should
not be run from the FBB DOS gateway. Running from the gateway will cause
problems.

To simplify running the program, 2 batch files are included. To run 
from the BAT file, place RENUMBER.EXE in the FBB directory, or in the 
\FBB\BIN directory, which should be in the PATH statement. Edit the
arguement in the NK3T_REN.BAT file for the desired starting number. PKZIP
needs to be available to the batch file, by having it in a subdirectory
in the PATH statement. If the process is successful, you may want to
remove the ZIP files created by the batch file. NK3T_REN.BAT will backup
and renumber the system. NK3T_RES.BAT will restore the system from the
backup zip files.

I have a lot of fun programming, but always need feedback for ideas,
and bug fixes. Let me know what is on your mind, even if it is running
fine. Most folks are quiet when things are working right, and gives me
the feeling nobody is running this stuff. Drop me a QSL card and tell me 
which program you are running.
