- I recently downloaded RBBS-PC CPC 13.1A from your BBS. I have successfully
- implemented the system on an IBM-XT at Minnkota Power Cooperative in Grand
- Forks. All features seem to be working except the "doors". I would like to
- implement this feature because many of the employees here can access the RBBS
- from dumb terminals connnected to our PRIME computer which can dial out to
- the RBBS via a 1200 baud modem.
-
- Following is a summary of what I have done in an effort to get the doors
- going. This follows the example in the RBBS-PC.DOC because I want to try
- out a simple example first.
-
- Parameter #81 in the CONFIG.EXE program is set to 'YES' to enable the doors
- system.
-
- This AUTOEXEC.BAT file is in my root directory (C:\).
-
- AUTOEXEC.BAT

-
- PROMPT $e[37;41;1m$p$g$e[37;44;1m
- PATH C:\;C:\DOS3_10;C:\NORTON;C:\RBBS;C:\RAMPROGS;C:\WORK
- RAMCLEAR
- ASTCLOCK
- NMI I
- CD\RBBS
- RBBS.BAT
-
-
- This RBBS.BAT file is in the subdirectory (C:\RBBS) with ALL the RBBS-PC files
- including RBBS-PC.EXE, CONFIG.EXE, RBBS-PC.DEF, EXITRBBS.EXE, WATCHDG1.COM
- and the various miscellaneous files used by the RBBS system when operating).
- It is specified in parameter #84 of the CONFIG.EXE program as C:RBBS.BAT.
- Disk D: is a 64KB ramdisk. C:RCCTY.BAT is the file specified in parameter
- #83 of the CONFIG.EXE program.

-
- This is the menu for the "doors" system. It is in the same subdirectory as
- the RBBS files (C:\RBBS). It is specified in parameter #82 of the CONFIG.EXE
- program as C:MENU5.

- This is the batch file for the door. It is in the same subdirectory as all
- the other RBBS files (C:\RBBS).
-
- EDIT.BAT
- --------
-
- EDLIN
- RBBS.BAT
-
-
- I didn't put CTTY in the EDIT.BAT file as mentioned in the documentation
- example. I ASSUMED this was being done in the batch file RCTTY.BAT.
- I have the security for the doors system set to 9. I have tried to log on
- remotely with a security level of 9 or as a remote SYSOP with a level of 10.
-
- THE PROBLEM I AM HAVING IS THAT I CAN'T GET THE 'DOORS' MENU TO APPEAR AT ALL
- WHEN I ENTER 'D' FROM THE MAIN MENU. I GET A MESSAGE THAT ALL DOORS ARE
- LOCKED. IN OTHER WORDS, I CAN'T GET TO SQUARE ONE. HELP PLEASE. (I get a
- similar response when I try to access sysop function 7 remotely.)
-
- Parameter #85 in the CONFIG.EXE program is set to find COMMAND.COM on C:.
-
- Any help would be greatly appreciated.
