- =====================================================================
-
- Program now uses Door Patch 3.8 and supports the following BBS
- drop file formats: DOOR.SYS, PCBOARD.SYS, SFDOORS.DAT, CALLINFO.BBS,
- DORINFO1.DEF, DORINFO2.DEF and CHAIN.TXT. Compatible with at least
- these BBS systems: PCBoard 14+, GAP 4+, RBBS-PC 17+. WILDCAT 2+ and
- Spitfire 3+. Also supports baud rates up to 115,200 BPS.
-
- My programs may be on various BBSes around the country under
- different archive extensions and types. This is the state of all the
- BBSes around the country. I personally like LHARC better, slower but
- smaller and suggest you give it a try.
-
- The archive file should contain the following files:
-
- CS.EXE CS.CFG CS.DOC READ.ME SYSOP.DOC
-
- CS.EXE is the main program. CS.CFG is a sample configuration
- file. CS.DOC is this file. SYSOP.DOC is documentation for Sysop and
- the READ.ME contains some bug fixes and must be included in the
- archive file that is downloadable on your system. These files may not
- be altered in any way.
-
- My archive file no longer contains DORPCH38.EXE and BRUN30.EXE.
- This was done to make the file smaller so that it takes up less space
- on the host BBS. If you need either the DORPCH38.EXE file or the
- patched BRUN30.EXE library contained in the Door Patch file, they can
- be obtained from various BBS systems around the country. The filename
- for Door Patch is DORPCH38.ZIP.
-
- This door comes with an example CS.CFG. It is supplied to show
- you how to set up the configuration file. The file may be modified to
- suit. Please try and limit the limit of your Sysops names to
- PCBoard's name length of twenty-seven characters (total length). The
- sixth line is for registration serial numbers. If you change the
- "Unregistered BBS" name or serial number it will still come up in the
- door as "Unregistered BBS" until you get a registration serial
- number.
-
- C:\PCB\PCBOARD.SYS < change to suit your system
- Unregistered BBS < changes only take affect with registration
- Boss < change to sysop's first name
- Dude < change to sysop's last name
- Your Sysop < Door Donor's name
- 0000 < changes only take affect with registration
- C:\PCB\DOORS\BLT14 < optional bulletin, requires registration
-
- You also can populate the .CFG file with path and filename for a
- bulletin. If not populated, no bulletin is generated. The bulletin
- shows the latest ten reviews that have been entered into Community
- Service. It shows title and date it was entered. As each new review
- is entered the tenth one is deleted, the new one becomes number one
- and other others are stepped down one position. This shows the newest
-
-
-
-
-
- entry as the first position in the bulletin.
-
- The bulletin, if used, can be called anything you want and saved
- to any directory on your drive(s). Leave out line five if you do not
- want a bulletin generated. It is suggested that you generate the
- bulletin because it does save users from having to go into the door
- to see if new reviews have been entered since the last time they used
- Community Service. The bulletin is disabled on non-registered
- versions.
-
- The entries in the program are deleted upon the use of the
- program following the day the activity ends. The starting date cannot
- be more than 30 days in advance. The ending date cannot be more than
- 90 days after the starting date. This is done to limit the time that
- an activity is in Community Service and how far in advance they can
- be entered.
-
- The Sysops have the authority/power/option to delete any
- record that they believe is not in good taste. Users can only delete
- a record if they have input the original record. Deleted records are
- replaced with the next entry starting at record one and looking for
- the first deleted (blank) record. If no deleted are found the program
- adds the new record to the end of the database.
-
- The program does not sort the records since most should/will be
- entered by the date of their occurrence. I wrote the various indexes
- to speed up operations. The titles are retained in memory so they can
- be accessed more readily (loaded in at start of door).
-
- The program, including Door Patch uses nine buffers, one through
- nine. Your system must have this many or more (forty buffers and
- sixty files is normal for most machines).
-
- Registration provides you with a serial number that will let you
- enter your BBS name in the second line of the CS.CFG file. This
- number replaces the "0000" in the sixth line of the .CFG file. Please
- support Shareware!
-
- If you have comments on the program, please feel free to contact
- me. Also, if program errors develope, please contact me at once so
- that corrections can be made.
-
- Usable ideas for door programs (games or anything else) will
- provide the donor BBS with a free, registered, copy of that
- particular program. This is my way of saying "Thank you" for you
- program ideas, which by the way, are not easy to come by.
-
- At this time the programs are written to work on any computer
- with an eighty column screen. These are my current doors: Music
- Review for entering reviews on music recorded on any medium: Software
- Review that is used to do reviews on Public Domain, Freeware and
- Shareware programs; Movie View where reviews are done on all kinds of
- movies; BBS Review where users enter reviews on various BBS systems;
- Book Review where users can enter reviews on any kind of books;
-
-
-
-
-
- Community Service (Public Service Announcements) that is used to list
- local and nearby activities; Restaurant Review for doing reviews on
- your favorite eateries; Wine Review for doing reviews on your
- favorite wines, goes hand in hand with Restaurant Review; Rime List
- door for viewing the worldwide Rime nodes, BBS Door Review for
- viewing BBS doors (mainly for users to use).
-
- I have a game called Gotcha! where the user tries to see how
- many doors can be picked before you are caught. As of this writing
- this is an enhanced version.
-
- You can get all my door software directly from me by sending me
- diskette(s), any PC format, to cover one meg of files, and include a
- mailer with return postage. You may include postage and label for a
- reusable mailer.
