- TOUR is an online door program designed specifically for RemoteAccess* and
- QuickBBS* Bulletin Board Systems. The program specifically looks for a
- RemoteAccess or QuickBBS style DORINFO1.DEF files. The program uses an
- installed FOSSIL driver for all communications and utilizes the Motor City
- Software JPDoor 3.20SE door library.
-
- TOURN is a program that gathers caller information as well as time banked
- using RemoteAccess TimeBank System (C) Motor City Software and compiles a
- list of user tournament scores. That is to say that it makes competition
- out of using the system.
-
- TOURN compiles the all information that is used to determine the users
- tournament score by using the following equation:

-
- (Introduction Continue:)
-
-
- Time_in_bank + #_of_calls + #_of_posts + #_of_u/l's + #_of_d/l's
-
- So if someone has:
-
- 1000 minutes in RATS
- 5 calls to system
- 5 messages posted
- + 5 uploads
- -----
- 1015 subtotal
- + 5 downloads NOTE: You may add NEGATIVE point for downloads
- ----- if you wish.
- 1010 total score
-
-
- Now to add a new twist. The Sysop may specify the points awarded/subtracted
- values for each field. TOURN looks at the TOURCFG.DAT file (Created by
- TourCfg.exe) to determin the values. If no parameters are received, then all
- fields have a value of 1.
-
- TIMEBANK value that for every 5 minutes that a user has in RATS
- 1 point will be awarded towards their score.
-
- POSTED value that each message posted awards 5 points
-
- CALLED value that each call to the system awards 5 points
-
- UPLOAD value that each upload to the system awards 10 points
-
- DOWNLOAD value that each download from the system ADDS (Or Subtracts
- if you used a negative number) 25 points.
-
-
- It's pretty tough to find anything to do with a user's time banked these days.
- I noticed several users accumulating mass amounts of time in their accounts
- with nothing to do with it. Well, now if anything, it can count towards their
- TOUR score.
-
- This program will work on multiline systems as well as single line systems.
- A configuration file Tour##.CFG is Required for all nodes in the multiline
- configuration.

-
- Tour is a easy utility to install. It allows the SysOp to customize the
- output files, and paths for each node. Additionally full color configuration
- can be handled, for on Screen and Text File writing.
-
- This is done through the use of the Tour Config program, TourCFG.EXE.
- This utility creates a few configuration files which the game program looks
- for at program startup. These files are:
-
- Tour##.CFG (Each node has one where the ## is the node number 01 and up.)
- Tour.CLR (This file contains the color configuration for Tour and it's
- output files.)
- TourCFG.CLR (This is a color configuration file for TourCFG.EXE.)
- TourCfg.DAT (This is the Master Configuration File for Tourament.)
-
- To use the setup utility, change to the directory containing the Tour files
- and enter the command TourCFG. A Default Node 01 will be created and may
- be edited by displayed default prompts. Once TourCFG.EXE has been
- executed, Tour can be run in the BBS system directory or in any directory
- of its own.

- Tour looks for a command line switch to select what your node prompt is,
- and the name of the node configuration file. The batch file examples below
- show how these command line parameters might be used.
-
- an example, of how you might call Tour as a type 7 which in turn calls a
- batch file:
-
- Type 7 command line:
-
- *C /c \QBBS\Tour.BAT *N
-
- ;Tour.BAT:
- C:
- If '%1'=='2' goto node2
- If '%1'=='3' goto node3

- Tour.EXE -C Tour01.CFG
- goto fini

-
- The Actual Door operation is controlled from the Config files you have
- created from TourCfg.Exe.
-
- Additionally if the colors you have chosen for the Door (or Default colors)
- do not look proper, Just change them in the TourCfg.Exe.
