Noticed something in the WG code

Post by drcorey »

I found something interesting while browsing thru my wg

3.2 source code, I noticed that Worldgroup 3.2 is compiled

for a 386 type cpu, I guess they did this so a 386 and up cpu

could run worldgroup, so I recompiled mine to a 486 type cpu

and see more free memory and speed now. bad part is, BC++

5.00 will only do up to a 486 cpu, unless you want to totally

redo the code to compile with a modern compiler. anyone

want to make WG a modern bbs server?

it's already capable of that by it's modular design.

a util called wgsdmod is used for this, bring down

the wg server, run wgsdmod, and just select which

moduals you don't want to load, err, it will tell you

if it needs something when it trys to boot up, I played

with this once and had just the bare wg kernel running,

all that is really needed is, the main exe, of course and

the main dll, which it's name excapes me at this time,

all the rest are option moduals. libs, forums, polls, doors,

etc, err, be sure to leave what you need, i.e. email, so

users can email you and others, and some games might

need the message or email moduals too. and don't forget

the sysop console for you, just write down exactly what

you or your users need, and use wgsdmod to unlink the

rest from the system. Wg is really a good system, needs

better docs thou...
