- Overview:
-
- * * * * * * * This Door Requires ANSI * * * * * * *
-
- Bible Trivia is a trivia game based upon the Bible. This door does not
- contain any time limit except that of the user's existing time left
- online. Although not written to operate on a multi-tasking environment,
- it has been tested to do so without any known problems. This door will
- support up to 50 users. It is also written to be able to use Com ports
- and IRQ's not usually used. This door does NOT require any daily
- maintenance. This door code is written using Quick Basic and DoorFrame
- runtime library.
-
- Configuration file setup:
- Example Batch File
- ------------------
- A sample batch file is included and is similar to the following:
-
- ECHO OFF

- configuration filename to the program.
- CD\PCB <=- Go back to PCB DIR when user exits door.
- BOARD <=- Restart BBS.

-
- NOTE: At present it is unclear which BBS systems read their BBS drop files
- back in and make updates to the system files upon termination of a door.
- If your BBS performs this function then your files will be updated,
- otherwise nothing will change and the updates will have to be performed
- manually. It is left to the individual Sysop to know if his BBS
- software does indeed perform the updates or not.
-
- DoorFrame requires DOS 3.x and up since all files are opened in SHARED
- mode.
-
- When using PCBOARD.SYS, DoorFrame also accesses the USERS file.
-
- When using USERS.SYS, DoorFrame also accesses PCBOARD.SYS, PCBOARD.DAT
- and the USERS file.
-
- The DOOR.SYS used by DoorFrame is the standard 52 line GAP (tm) file.
-
- The CALLINFO.BBS used by DoorFrame currently contains 36 lines.
-
- If ANY Basic error is encountered, it will branch to ERR.ROUTINE and
- call the ERRORS subroutine. The error will be printed to the screen and
- written to DFRAME.ERR. Your Door will then exit back to the BBS.
-
- Fossil Driver Support
- ---------------------
-
- - Automatic:
- BNU: Yes
- XOO: Yes
-
- Environment Variables:
-
- Criss-Cross supports COM 1-4 on the standard IRQ's - COM1/COM3 = IRQ4
- and COM2/COM4 = IRQ3. If you wish to use a non-standard IRQ, add the IRQ
- number after the configuration filename.
- CC CC.CFG /5 OR
- CC CC.CFG /%IRQ% for the environment variable.
- The /5 tells Criss-Criss to use IRQ5 rather than the standard IRQ4 that
- is normally used with COM1. No /x parameter is needed for the standard IRQ's.
-
- When specifying the location of the system file on line 1 of the doors .CFG
- file, you may use the environment variables %pcbdrive%, %pcbdir%, %pcbnode%,
- and %wcnodeid%. Some examples:
- PCBoard:
- USERS.SYS in C:\PCB - %pcbdrive%%pcbdir%\USERS.SYS
- USERS.SYS in C:\PCB\NODE1 - %pcbdrive%%pcbdir%\NODE%pcbnode%\USERS.SYS
-
- Wildcat!:
- USERINFO.DAT in C:\WC\NODE1 - C:\WC\NODE%wcnodeid%
-
- Non-PCBoard systems may use the PCB environment variables by setting them
- in either AUTOEXEC.BAT or in the batch that runs the door. For example:
- SET PCBDRIVE=C:
- SET PCBDIR=\BBSDIR
- SET PCBNODE=1
-
-
- Daily Maintenance:
-
- No modification of your daily maintenance is required since Criss-Cross
- performs it's Daily Maintenance on the first caller that day. This
- maintenance is very short and should not delay the play by that call
- very much.
-
- Limitations:
-
- This door will continue to operate in it's original condition until
- it is registered.
-
- 1: A 5 second delay and message will be displayed upon it start and
- exit.
- 2: Each player is limited to 1 game a day until registered.
- 3: A player cannot play ahead, or make up lost days until registered.
-
- These limitations will be removed upon it's registration.
