[nos-bbs] HELP Files for JNOS BBS users

One thing I have been negligent with is including help files with
the jnos 2.0 project. They were never part of the installer, which
I hope to remedy soon. Here is how you can add the help files from
the original JNOS 1.11f to your JNOS 2.0 configuration :

   mkdir -p /tmp/111f
   cd /tmp/111f
   wget 
"www.langelaar.net/projects/jnos2/documents/manuals/docs111f.zip" 
--no-check-certificate
   unzip docs111f.zip

then change to your JNOS spool/help subdirectory (it will be empty if
you have never put anything in there), then extract the help files :

   cd /jnos/spool/help                (your path may be different, check 
it please)

   unzip -L /tmp/111f/HELP.ZIP          (the -L lowercases the filenames)

   dos2unix                              (if you don't do this, help 
file contents
                                           have double spaces between lines)

The help files will no doubt require some updating, and additions as 
well ...
