- INTRODUCTION
- ------------
-
- DreamLIST has the following built-in features ...
-
- Assembly language serial input/output routines for maximum
- speed.
-
- Fully supports high speed modems: 16550 FIFO buffering and
- locked serial ports.
-
- Built in ANSI terminal emulator. No need to have ANSI.SYS
- loaded in memory.
-
- Supports all of the most popular door data file formats:
- TriBBS, PCBoard, GAP, Spitfire, WildCat, RBBS, and WWIV.
-
-
-
-
- RUNNING DREAMLIST
- -----------------
- DreamLIST is run by entering a command similar to the following:
-
- drmlist drmlist.cfg
-
- In the above command line, "drmlist" is the name of your door's EXE file
- and the "drmlist.cfg" parameter is the name of the door's configuration
- file. The configuration file can have any name the sysop chooses, but
- it must reside in the same directory as the door. The configuration
- file is an ASCII text file with the following format:
-
- Line 1: Door data file type.
- Line 2: Path to the door data file(s).
- Line 3: BBS name.
- Line 4: Sysop's name.
- Line 5: Locked baud rate.
-
- As illustrated above, the door's data file type is specified in line 1
- and can be PCB for PCBoard, GAP for GAP (DOOR.SYS), SF for Spitfire,
- RBBS for RBBS, WC for WildCat!, TRIBBS for TriBBS, or WWIV for WWIV.
- The locked baud rate is specified in line 5. If the sysop doesn't
- lock his serial port, he must specify 0 for the locked baud rate.
- NOTE: Although many door formats do pass the locked baud rate in the
- door data files, some older formats such as RBBS do not. For
- conformity, it is required that you specify the locked baud rate in
- line 5 and ignores any value passed in the door data files.
-
- The following is a sample door configuration file:
-
- WWIV
- C:\WWIV\
- DreamNET
- Unca Scrooge
- 38400
-
- A file called SETUP.EXE is included to aid with writing this config.
- file. Run it, answer the questions, and let the program do the rest.
- THIS MUST BE RUN BEFORE RUNNING DREAMLIST!!!
-
-
- DreamLIST can be run locally without a door data file (handy for the
- sysop to use the door without logging on to the BBS) by specifying
- /L after the configuration file parameter in the DOS command line.
- DreamLIST will request the user to enter his name before running the
- door.
-
-
-
- SPECIAL KEYS
- ------------
-
- While a door is running, the sysop can press certain special keys to
- perform a variety of functions. The following is a list of the
- functions that the DreamLIST special keys perform: (None of which are
- really needed in this 'door')
-
- Key(s) Function
-
- HOME Toggles between the user status window and a help
- display that lists the special keys.
-
- F6 Takes 5 minutes away from the caller.
- NOTE: This will NOT be returned to BBS.
-
- F7 Gives 5 minutes to the caller.
- NOTE: This will NOT be returned to the BBS.
-
- F9 Quit the door and return the caller to the BBS.
-
- F10 Enter chat mode. Pressing the ESC key exits the
- chat mode.
-
- Alt+D Drop to DOS.

- REGISTRATION NOTES
- ------------------
-
- I have dropped the prices on ALL of my doors to $10. The reason for
- this is I believe that $10 is a fair price for BBS Doors! I believe
- that $25 for a BBS Door is a bit much, not to MENTION $45-60 that
- SOME of the Door registrations cost. You can get an EXCELLENT,
- multi_disk COMMERCIAL game for these prices! Therefore, all of my
- BBS Doors registrations will be $10. There MAY be, at a later date,
- a door/pgm that will cost slightly more, depending on the complexity
- of the coding, but that is unlikely. If you have another of my
- doors that was written before this and you wish to register it/them,
- only send $10 for each registration. This decision covers ALL previous
- doors. I am planning on releasing new versions of ALL my doors soon
- with the information. Thank You!
-
- Thank you for using DreamLIST
