- Poll Position v.1.0
- by the Transgalactic Lynk
- Copyright 1991, 1992 all rights reserved
-
- Hello, everyone! Poll Position is a survey door designed for QuickBBS.
- It uses only the DORINFO1.DEF from QuickBBS, so it is likely that one could
- find a converter for his BBS system. Note - You also need to be running a
- FOSSIL driver such as Gwinn's X00.SYS. Seeing as QBBS requires this anyway, I
- don't think this should be a problem.
-
- I. Usage
-
- Using Poll Position is very simple. Just set it up like any other QuickBBS
- door. First, put the EXE file in the directory you wish to run it from. Then
- make a menu option (7 or 15) and set it up to run a batch file. The batch
- file should switch to the directory in which Poll Position is stored, and the
- run it with one or two command line parameters.
- Example of .BAT file:
-
- cd\pollpos
- pollpos \bbs\dorinfo1.def 12345678
- cd\bbs
- exit
-
- The first parameter is the complete path, including file name, of the
- DORINFO1.DEF file that QuickBBS makes, this is usually in the QuickBBS
- directory.
- The second parameter is your registration number. If you have paid the
- registration fee (explained later) then you will receive a specific number
- that makes your copy of Poll Position regisitered. Put this number after
- the path to dorinfo1.def and your program will stop giving the "Unregistered"
- message, remove the pause after the message and allow you to use certain sysop
- utilities such as color editing and deleting polls.
-
- II. Features
-
- Poll Position features up to 22 users made surveys. Users can make,
- answer, and review the result of surveys. If there are 22 surveys, and a
- user makes another one, the oldest survey is replaced by the new one, thus
- reducing the need for Sysop maintance. However, in case there is a survey
- that a Sysop find offensive he/she can delete the survey without harming the
- other surveys(Anyone can use the delete option if they have a 32000 security
- level) NOTE this option is only available in the registered version on Poll
- Position.
-
- III. Registration
-
- This is not FREEWARE or PUBLIC DOMAIN software. This is SHAREWARE. It
- is the try before you buy concept. If you like Poll Position then you are
- expected to send in a registration fee, if not then you are to discontinue
- use of it after a reasonable period of time(21 days).
- If you do not want to register Poll Position, still feel free to send me
- comments at the below mentioned address. (Note : No support will be given to
- non-registered users).
