- DOORWAY
-
- This is a maintnance release. Quite a few incompatibilities have been
- resolved, and a number of bugs squashed. DWHOST works with many modems
- it would not work with before. Printer redirection has some bugs fixed in
- it, as does DWCOMM and DOORWAY.
-
- If you are upgrading a registered copy of DOORWAY then MAKE SURE you know
- your registration number BEFORE copying the DOORWAY.EXE file over the old
- copy. If you can't find your registration number, then you can type
- DOORWAY REGISTER on you OLD COPY of DOORWAY, and it will tell you it's
- registration name and number.
-
- This package contains several programs. DOORWAY can be set up to turn
- programs into DOORS on BBS's, and to allow remote access to either a
- BBS or a computer at home or business. The following major executable
- files are provided:
-
- DOORWAY.EXE This is the main redirection program.
- DWHOST.COM This program will answer the phone and pass control
- to DOORWAY for remote access applications.
- DWCOMM.EXE The com program to call in with.
-
-
- If all you are wanting to do is set up a remote system to call into later,
- do the following:
-
- Run install, and answer the questions.
- log into subdirectory you logged into.
- Enter: DWHOST L
- Make any necessary changes to the set-up.
- F10 to save.
- Press F1 or F2 to exit.
- End your autoexec.bat file with \DWHOST\HOST if you wish the computer
- to boot into the HOST mode.
-
- When you are ready to bring up the HOST to receive calls, type HOST. You
- MUST run the HOST.BAT file. If you run DWHOST from the command line it will
- not work correctly. Call in with DWCOMM or your favorite communications
- program. I recommend QMODEM, GT Power Com TELIX and so forth. Once you have
- called in, entered your password and been dropped to dos, enter DOORWAY mode
- on the remote end (ALT = on most com programs, CONTROL DOWN ARROW GT, not
- applicable to DWCOMM) so all the keys will work over the modem. DOORWAY will
- toggle between BIOS and DIRECT SCREEN write mode by entering the control
- character you defined in the installation from remote. If you are not getting
- anything on the remote end, enter this character to switch over to DIRECT
- SCREEN WRITE mode. Enter it twice to redraw the screen.
-
- To transfer a file while in DOS, make sure you have a copy of DWXFER.EXE on
- the remote (in the path) and HOST end. Then either shell to DOS on the remote
- and enter DWXFER REMOTE, or install it as an external protocol, so that when
- you do a download it will shell to dos and execute DWXFER REMOTE. If you are
- calling in with DWCOMM simply select the DWXFER option.
-
- Type exit when through to end the call and bring DWHOST back up for the next
- call.
-
- If carrier is lost in DOS, DOORWAY will bring DWHOST back up again.
-
- For more information read the DWCOMM.DOC, DWHOST.DOC and DOORWAY.DOC.
-
- If you are running something out of the ordinary then you will need to read
- the DOC's. If you are wanting to use DOORWAY with a bulletin board to create
- DOORS then you will need to read the DOORWAY.DOC file.
