- Example Batch File
- -------------------
- A sample batch file is included and is similar to the following:
- ECHO OFF
- CD\DOORS <=- Switch to the door's Directory.
- DOOR DOOR.CNF <=- Execute the door program and pass the
- configuration filename to the program.
- CD\PCB <=- Go back to PCB DIR when user exits door.
- BOARD <=- Restart BBS.
-
- This Door is multi-node compatible so you may run more than 1 node from
- the same .CNF file provided the path to your system file (DORINFOx.DEF,
- CALLINFO.BBS, etc) is exactly the same unless you are using environment
- variables, (q.v.)
-
- Environment Variables
-
- PCBoard automatically creates the %PCBDRIVE% & %PCBDIR% environment
- variables. Non-PCBoard systems may also use these variables by including
- the following in either your BBS batch or AUTOEXEC.BAT
-
- SET PCBDRIVE=C: <- Drive letter of your BBS files
- SET PCBDIR=\BBSDIR <- Path to your BBS files
-
- Then in your Door .CNF file instead of putting C:\BBSDIR\DOOR.SYS, you
- would put %PCBDRIVE%%PCBDIR%\DOOR.SYS. This allows you to use just one
- .CNF file for multi-node operation!
-
- To specify a non-standard IRQ, put the IRQ number after the .CNF on the
- command line. For example:
-
- DOOR DOOR.CNF /5
- or using the PCBDRIVE procedure: SET IRQ=5 and use
- DOOR DOOR.CNF /%IRQ%
-
- This tells the program to use IRQ 5 instead of the standard IRQ.
-
- Top Ten Bulletin
- ----------------
-
- The first time you run this door online it will create 3 files called
- ****.BUL, ****.BLT and ****.BLT. If you wish to change the path
- or filename of the Bulletin, you must edit ****.BUL and change the
- first line to whatever path/filename you desire, assuming that this door
- requires or has a bulletin to display.. these docs are generic for all
- The Livewire Doors and some of them DO NOT create a bulletin.
-
