The has been MANY uucp letters sent to me concerning the installation of XBBS versions 7.90 or 7.91 when 7.89 or lower is already installed. Firstly, 7.90 has two new entries in the ".config.bbs" file which relate to the program that is used as the usenet reader and usenet poster. Before, these programs were "hard coded"; which forced the system administrator to comply to the way I set it now; however, now, you just specify the full pathnames. What was happening is that when the code was run, an error would occur when the code was reading the configuration file since it expected two more lines than were actually present. The difference between 7.90 and 7.91 is that multiple files can now be specified on the download command line.
