   Riba to All   
   Upgrading from 2.30 to 3.19b

   Hey all!   
      
   I used to run a Synchronet BBS from the early 1990s until 2003 when we finally   
   pulled the plug. While cleaning out my place I found a CD with the backup   
   taken at the time and it was still readable. I was also pleasantly surprised   
   finding out that Rob has    
   continued developing the software and now I'd like to bring the BBS back   
   online for people who used to visit.   
      
   I've been through docs but could not find the straightforward answer what   
   would be the proper procedure to upgrade a 4-node MSDOS 2.30b SBBS to run   
   under the current 3.19b version. I'm about to start tinkering, but any tips   
   that would save me time and    
   headache are welcome.   
      
   I suspect it is not as simple as installing 3.19b over existing c:\sbbs   
   directory or am I wrong?   
      
   Thanks!
