VBBS Diagnostics

		This useful feature helps you look for problems in your
	 setup; with any luck, if you've followed the instructions this
	 far, you won't have any problems.  If you DO receive an error
	 message upon running VBBS, chances are this program will point
	 out where the problem is.

	 ͻ    It's also a good idea to run the diagnostics if you've
	 ͼ    made any changes in the PATHS configuration, just to make
		sure VBBS can find everything it needs to run properly.

		If you get a "Path Missing" error, especially when the
		diagnostics are checking the file transfer areas, the
		most probable explanation is that the database has been
		set up in VCONFIG, but the DOS directory for that data-
		base does not exist yet.  If this is the case, you need
		to create that database's directory in DOS.

		That just about does it for VCONFIG.  If your system is
	 like most, you'll find that you spend a lot of time using this
	 program -- adding new databases, changing various settings, and
	 whatnot.  VCONFIG is one of the features that makes VBBS unique
	 among BBS softwares -- it presents the sysop with a multitude of
	 options with regard to BBS presentation and operation.
