- -------------------------------------------------------
-
- WILDCAT 2.x and 3.x,
- Gap v4.0 and greater,
- PcBoard v14.0 or greater,
- QuickBBS v2.6 thru v2.75,

-
- This program should also work with other DORINFOx.DEF producing BBS's,
- such as RBBS and SuperBBS. For other BBS's not mentioned, there are MANY
- door conversion utilities available.
-
- This door will also run under Desqview.
-
-
-
- Installation Of The Door :
- ==========================
-
- Step One :
- ----------
-
- First create a directory for the program and place all the files into
- that directory.
-
- i.e. C:\WILDCAT\DOOR\VIDEO (whatever your DOOR directory will be)
-
-
- Step Two :
- ----------
-
- Use the install program to configure the configuration file to meet
- your specifications.
-
-
- Contents Of The Configuration File :
- ------------------------------------
-
- Line one is the path to your door, which should be the same as the path
- you created in STEP ONE.
-
- Line two is the name of your BBS.
-
- Line three MUST be left alone. It should be set to 0 (zero).
-
- Line four is the name that you use on your BBS.
-
- Line five is where you specify if you are running at Lock Baud or not.
- If you are running Lock Baud then enter the Baud Rate... i.e. 9600, 19200,
- etc.... Or enter 0 (zero) for none.
-
- Line six is where you specify what type of BBS you are running.
-
- WC2 - Wildcat 2.x (CALLINFO.BBS)
- WC3 - Wildcat 3.x (DOOR.SYS)
- GAP - Gap Systems (DOOR.SYS)
- Dorinfo#.def - QBBS, RA, RBBS (DORINFO#.DEF)
- The # is replaced with the numerical value for the Dorinfo drop file
-
- Line seven is where you let the game know what card type to use.
- You may make the cards random or use one specific card.
-
- Line eight is where you tell the game if the player can win on any
- pair or JACKS or BETTER.
-
- Line nine is where you specify what the ansi file path and name will be
- for the TOP 10 Bulletin.
-
- Line ten is where you specify what the ascii file path and name will be
- for the TOP 10 Bulletin.
-
-
-
-
-
-
- Here is the completed file :
- ----------------------------
-
- C:\WILDCAT\DOOR\VIDEO
- The Lighthouse BBS
- 0
- Danny Davis
- 19200 or 0 (zero) for none
- WC3
- 0, 1, or 2
- 0 or 1
- C:\WILDCAT\BULL\BULL1.ANS
- C:\WILDCAT\BULL\BULL1.ASC
-
-
-
- BBS Batch Files :
- =================
-
- WILDCAT 2.X (CALLINFO.BBS) :
- ----------------------------
-
- CD\WILDCAT\DOOR\VIDEO
- COPY C:\WILDCAT\CALLINFO.BBS
- VIDEO
- VPBULL
- CD\WILDCAT
- CAT
-
- CALLINFO.BBS has to be copied to the game path. If it doesn't find the
- CALLINFO.BBS file then it will exit back to the BBS. Will also show the
- user a error code.
-
- WILDCAT 3.X (DOOR.SYS) :
- ------------------------
-
- This will run the same as above except instead of copying CALLINFO.BBS
- you'll copy the DOOR.SYS file.
-
- QuickBBS & DORINFO#.DEF (a Type 15 for QuickBBS) :
- ---------------------------------------------------
-
- You may specify up to nine different DORINFO#.DEF's by using the
- install program.
-
- D:
- CD\DOORS\VIDEO
- COPY C:\QBBS\DORINFO2.DEF
- VIDEO
- VPBULL
- C:
- CD\QBBS
- GOTO RESTART
-
- DORINFO#.DEF has to be copied to the game path. If it doesn't find the
- DORINFO file, then it will exit back to the BBS.
-
- To run a type 7 (for QuickBBS), simply put the VIDEO.BAT file in the
- QuickBBS directory, using "*C /C VIDEO.BAT" in the optional data line in
- the type 7 menu. (there are other ways to do it, this is the easiest).
-
-
- GAP and PCBOARD :
- -----------------
-
- C:
- CD\DOOR\VIDEO
- COPY C:\GAP\DOOR.SYS
- VIDEO
- VPBULL
- CD\GAP
- GAP
-
-
- Maintenance :
- -------------
-
- Also enclosed is a maintenance file that needs to be ran
- once a day to keep the player.dat file clean. By passing
- a number value from 8-30 you can specify how many days you
- will allow a user to stay in the door before being deleted.
-
- i.e. "MAINT 17" this allows 17 days before a player is
- deleted for non-use
-
- VPBULL :
- --------
- This file can be ran each time the door is exited or as a
- nightly event. I recommend after the door exits. It will
- make a ANSI and a ASCII Bulletin from the information you
- specify in your installation module.
-
- Page and Comm Control Files :
- -----------------------------
- Read the PAGE.CTL and COMM_IRQ.CTL files and configure it
- to meet your needs.
-
- Local Mode :
- ------------
- To run the game in LOCAL mode just type /LOCAL after the
- VIDEO.EXE on the command line "VIDEO /LOCAL".
-
-
-
- Multi - Line BBS :
- ------------------
- Well this is a rather simple task. When you run the install
- program you can pick upto 4 different configuration files.
- To run this door as a multi door all you need to do is place
- the following statement:
-
- VIDEO VIDEO1.CNF
-
- And so on for the rest of the configuration files. The
- reason for this is so you may specify the different
- LOCKBAUD rates for each node.
-
-
- Support BBS :
- -------------
-
- The Lighthouse BBS Midnight Madness
- 209-442-8329 209-252-8466
- Fido Net 1:205/75 Fido Net 1:205/76
-
- Both Systems Run On A
- US ROBOTICS DUAL STANDARD
-
- Registration of this door will cost you $12.50 plus shipping
- and handling. With your registration you will receive a key file
- that will work with all future versions of Video Poker.
