The Major BBS Forums (Archive)

Hi guys,
I downloaded GALICO.ZIP from the ArcticZone to try out MajorBBS 6.25 on tcpip since I had never seen it done before. But when I unzipped it to the directory and launched the BBS, it is asking for GALME.MDF (I think that is the exension). I ignored the error and configured the hardware channel. I then went to run the bbs from the main screen and I got an error asking for GALME.DLL and then it quit. Has anyone run into this issue before? I checked the other GALICO files for this and didn't find it. Thanks!

I don't think GALICO was for the majorbbs.
galme is the redone worldgroup messaging engine,
so it's looking for worldgroup moduals.
majorbbs used a different messaging system.

What exists for MajorBBS then for TCPIP?

Vircom's Major TCP/IP. Galacticomm's first version of the ICO might work, but I think it might also use GALME.

Was there a GALHPAC.DLL in the ICO you downloaded?

Yes that file exists in the archive.

majortcp/ip is the best once for it, is it possible for you to use wg 2.0? a base install of wg2 and when it asks for act code hit escape copy the galgsbl.dll from your \bbsv6 dir and relaunch and you'll be good, "MOST" modules from mbbs work with wg2 as well.
