   Correct.

   Step 4 from https://wiki.synchro.net/install:dev includes "download the daily   
   archive of the exec directory and extract into your Synchronet exec directory"   
   - I think you missed that.

   It depends *how* you installed Synchronet to begin with. If you exec directory   
   itself is not already a symlink, then you'll need to recursively copy the *.js   
   files from the repo to your exec dir.   
      
    > Also, the compile did create the symlinks for the update_to_v319 and   
    > update_to_v320 but not one for update.js   
      
   That's correct. Compiling sbbs does nothing with scripts (e.g. *.js, *.src).

   Uh, that doesn't look right. The main.ini file should be .ini format, like so:   
      
   name=My BBS   
   qwk_id=MYBBS   
   location=My City, State   
   phonefmt=!!!!!!!!!!!!   
   operator=Sysop   
   guru=The Guru   
   etc.

   You need to update *all* the .js (and other run-time files) in the exec dir,   
   not just update.js.

   Yeah, looks like Step 4 mentioned above was missed. No problem! Glad you're   
   upgrading to the latest release!
