- How to run RBBS-PC CPC15-1A with 14-1x DOORWARE Programs
- --------------------------------------------------------
- To those who have written comments in regards to our DOORWARE Programs, we
- would like to thank you and hope that we can continue developing more of
- out DOORWARE Programs in the future.
-
- Due to the many changes made in RBBS-PC CPC15-1A we must also provide new
- versions of our DOORWARE Programs. However the new 15.1A versions of the
- software will not be available until early April. We are not only make
- the programs compatible with RBBS-PC CPC15-1A but are also adding many new
- enhancements to them. Like: Color, Music, File Locking, and more ...
-
- RBBS-PC CPC15-1A really has come a long way since CPC14-1D. And we hope
- that you will update to the new version as soon as possible. But in doing
- so you would not be able to run our DOORWARE Programs easily. So, I have
- taken the time get you around this problem until the new 15.1A versions of
- the DOORWARE Programs are available. Hopefully this will help you in that
- task:
-
- You will need to put all of the DOORWARE Programs and your RBBS-PC.DEF
- file(s) from RBBS-PC CPC14-1D into their own subdirectory or on a
- different drive of your system. Edit your DOORS Batch file(s) that
- RBBS-PC invokes to change to the subdirectory or drive letter, then have
- it run the DOORWARE Program, and then have the batch file change back to
- the RBBS-PC default directory or drive letter.
-
- Example:
- Contents of GAMES.BAT
-
- CD \DOORWARE
- MONITOR %1
- CD \BBS-MAIN
-
- I would also like to point out at this time that the Batch files for
- DOORS in RBBS-PC CPC15-1A have changed a little bit. As you can see from
- the above example of GAMES.BAT, it is no longer necessary to have
- different Batch files for each RBBS-PC Node. RBBS-PC now passes the
- Node ID to the Batch file. And the other change is it is no longer
- necessary to have the DOORS Batch file re-invoke the RBBS Batch file.
- This will be taken care of by RBBS-PC loading a COMMAND Processor to
- invoke the DOORS Batch file.
-
- Be sure to remember to make the changes to all of your DOORS Batch files
- and to keep your RBBS-PC.DEF file(s) from RBBS-PC CPC14-1D. If you do
- not have the .DEF file(s) from RBBS-PC CPC14-1D, hang in there April is
- not that far away.
-
- If you have any questions, just let me know and I will do my best to help
- you when I can.
