The original author of GT Power, Paul Meiners, lamented that "correct
documentation is still the authors responsibility (I write terrible
documentation)". It was easy for me to figure out, until it got to setting up GT
Power for multi-node, but all is well now. I figured out how to work the tossers
for GT Power, then the packages for Synchronet and Virtual Advanced, once I was
shown "the basic syntax"...then I could take it from there.
I have a problem with these "Sysops in name only"...who have someone else
do the work for them, then they take all the credit for the work, when they
didn't do a darn thing.
I am glad to assist, because it's true, that setting up any BBS software
and the accompanying utilities can be "intellectually daunting".
