run it? - well, iv noticed if ur using the correct dll, u just need to toss the new update file in there, and wait for a cleanup and it will fix all of the other dats...



ok, thanks.

It would be really cool for someone to take the time to make a general editing FAQ that I could stick into NMR. I would hope most people realize what the wccupda2.dat file does. I would hate to see someone spend 8 hours editing, not compile an update, and then start up their board and have everthing they've done be oeverwritten (FYI hexbin: the update file runs through on the boot up process of the BBS. it takes the information inside of it and writes it to the regular dat files. therefore, if you dont compile a new one, it will overwrite any changes you've made).
