- Priliminary Documentation for DOORSYS converter program.....
-
- Written by: Rick Salinas Copyright (c)1991
-
- NOTICE: This program is not a refined nor fully tested program. It is not
- gauranteed to do anything except take up disk space. The program
- works ok on my machine and hopefully yours aswell. There are no
- warranties implied nor expressed as to the performance of this
- program.
-
-
- The purpose of this program is to provide a simple and generic converter
- program to write GAP's version 2.5 DOOR.SYS files given a variety of generic
- drop files. This program is in BETA test at the moment and are testing and
- correcting any incompatibilities as they arise. This program is very helpful
- when setting up any of my BBS Door programs. Here is an example how to use
- this program with SUB ATTACK.
-
- Requirements: Doorsys requires a BRUN45.exe file. This is Quick Basic's 4.5
- Runtime module. This file is included in Sub Attack.
- This program must reside in the door game directory.
-
- General command line is:
-
- DOORSYS d:\path\dropfile.ext /flags
-
- Valid dropfiles:
-
- CALLINFO.BBS
- DORINFOx.DEF
- DOOR.SYS
- LASTUSxx.DAT *testing this one.... wowzers!
-
-
-
- Example batch file:
-
- cd c:\doors\sub
- doorsys c:\ra\dorinfo1.def <--- assuming your drop file is dorinfo
- sa.exe <--- Start Sub Attack using door.sys
- that doorsys.exe wrote for you
-
-
-
- Thats it.... just call doorsys.exe before executing the door game.
-
- *
- Example on how to LOCKBAUD RATE:
-
- You can lock the baud at 19200 or 38400 for HST...(still testing this)
- add /19200 or /38400 to the command line.... for example
-
-
- DOORSYS c:/opus/lastus00.dat /19200 "use OPUS lastuser locked at 19200"
-
- Locked bauds are a real tough to figure out for all systems. Boy I mean it
- can be real tough but I have had good luck so far with Wildcat, PCB and
- TAG bbs. If this works out for you drop me a message and let me know.
-
- * You do not need to lock baudrates with DOORSYS.EXE if you are playing
- any door games I have written. All baudrates should be locked via the
- game. For example in SUB ATTACK type: SA /19200
-
-
- Example using a PCB14.5 generated DOOR.SYS
-
- First off you may not need to use any converter at all if you can write a
- door.sys file in the first place. But if you are having trouble you can
- try to use DOORSYS.exe to filter out and clean up your drop file.
-
- DOORSYS door.sys pcb14.5
- ^^^^^^^
- this flag turns on the PCB14.5 filter
- without this flag DOORSYS.exe assumes an
- old style door.sys file is to be converted
- to the new GAP version door.sys.
-
- In other words..... if you have a door.sys file generated by PCB14.5 BBS then
- start doorsys.exe with the pcb14.5 flag as noted above.
- Well anyways thats it for now... Good luck
