What do you need?

Everyone needs TNOS230B.ZIP, which contains the docs and assorted support
programs.

The TNOS220B.ZIP file includes an executable with most ALL features
compiled in. It has a built-in DPMI-compatible memory manager which does
not support virtual memory, but will allow usage of all memory in your
system. If you have another DPMI memory manager already installed, the one
built into the executable will disable itself, and use the installed DPMI
manager. This allows you to use (for example) QEMM and utilize virtual
memory, if desired.

The TNOS.EXE executable is also available as a separate file in this
directory. Unless you plan on compiling your own (which you should not
NEED to), this executable should serve yours needs well...

**NOTE** If you are upgrading from another xNOS or from a TNOS 1.xx, you need
the TNOSFWD.TXT file, which contain the file specification for the
forward.bbs file, which has changed with release 2.00. This file can
be found in the TDP/tnosfwd directory. In addition, you will
need the CNVFWD.EXE, which is an application to convert your existing
pre-TNOS2.00 forward.bbs file.

*** ALL ZIP FILES should be unzipped using the "-d" option, to place the
    files in the proper sub-directories when needed.

You WILL want the NEW2TN2.30 file, for the new features, and there are MANY!


Source Code?

If you want the source code, get TNOS230S.ZIP, also. See the 'djgpp.txt'
file in the 'doc' directory of TNOS230B.ZIP for info on the new compiler
being used by TNOS, DJGPP.


Just Curious?

The TNOS230D.ZIP contains just the DOCS, which are included in TNOS230B.ZIP.
The NEW2TNx.xx files will also be helpful.


You'll have questions......

START with the TNOS Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) document, which you can
find in the 'faq' directory, in several different formats.

THEN look at the various documents being developed by the TNOS Documentation
Project, in various directories of the 'TDP' directory.

When you do have questions, the tnos-topics mailing list is the preferred
and best way to get assistance. Also consult the file "README".
