- Create a seperate directory on your hard disk for A-Wall. Unzip the
- Archive into that directory.

-
- MD C:\BBS\DOORS\AWALL
- PKUNZIP AWALL10.ZIP C:\BBS\DOORS\AWALL
-
- I've included a sample configuration file for you to look at if you
- need help. The layout for the config file is as follows:
-
- LINE 1: Path and filename to DOOR.SYS
- EXAMPLE: C:\PCB\DOOR.SYS
- LINE 2: SysOps Name (not case sensative)
- EXMAPLE: Billy Sargent
- LINE 3: BBS Name (CASE SENSATIVE!!)
- EXAMPLE: The Data Connection BBS
- LINE 4: Path and filename for log file
- EXAMPLE: C:\PCB\DOORS\AWALL\AWALL.LOG
- LINE 5: Path and filename to a list of "bad words"
- EXAMPLE: C:\PCB\DOORS\AWALL\BADWORDS.LST
- LINE 6: Path and filename to a list of "locked out" users
- EXAMPLE: C:\PCB\DOORS\AWALL\LOCKED.OUT
-

-
- Configuring your BBS Package
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
- Most BBS packages offer support for DOORs to run in the logon.
- PCBoard offers this support in its Doors Menu Editor. If you are
- running PCBoard, heres the configuration in your DOORS.LST file:
-
-
- Filename Password Sec Login UserSYS DoorSYS Shell Path
- -------- -------- --- ----- ------- ------- ----- ----
- AWALL 0 Y N Y S C:\PCB\DOORS\AWALL
-
-
- If you are running other software, consult your operators manual
- for more information on running doors in the login. If it doesnt
- support this, buy PCBoard. <GRIN>
-
-
-
- "Bad Words"
- ~~~~~~~~~~~
-
- This is about the best feature that I can think of in a oneliner
- program. Alot of users will get into one of these type programs
- and use bad language and cause trouble. No more. With this option,
- you can define billions and billions of words you don't want your
- users to be able to use in the oneliners, and it will NOT allow
- them to save it. If they try to enter a word that is in the bad
- words list, they will be presented with a little message explaining
- that the word they used in the oneliner is not permitted by the sysop,
- and be returned to the BBS. It will write this to the log file (line #
- 4 in the configuration file) and tell you who it was, what they said
- and when they said it. You can then torture that user for doing it <G>
- See next section <G>
-
-
- "Locked Out" users
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
- With this feature, you can lock certain users out of this door. This
- comes in handy if they try to use "bad words" too often. Just edit
- the Locked out users list (Line # 6 in configuration file) and start
- adding names (not case sensative). If a user tries to access this door,
- and is locked out, they'll recieve a short message telling them they
- do not have access to the door, and they will be sent back to the BBS.
-
-
- Command Line Parameters
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
- Only one command line parameter, the config filename.
-
-
- Features in future versions
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
- -PCBoard and TriBBS @X codes for color changing
- -Ability to AUTOMATICALLY lock out users who use bad words
- too many times.
- -Database of entered Oneliners for SysOps review
- -COM 3 and 4 support
- -Multitasker support
- -RIP support
- -EVERY message, prompt, and display will be customizable
-
- Additional Information
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
- I used NO Door Library to write this door. All routines were written
- by hand. That is mainly why there isn't support for @Codes YET.
- Alot of hard work went into this. I didn't want to NAG everyone to
- death to register. Thats why I haven't crippled this in ANY way, shape,
- or form.
-
- If you have any suggestions, or anything, call me at (812)897-8757
- on The Data Connection BBS, and leave the SysOp a message on what
- you think about this door. Oh, BTW, Registration is cheap, just call
- my BBS and download the patch to upgade your version to the registered
- version. :)
-
-
- *LEGAL INFO*
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~
- The upgraded patch is NOT SHAREWARE. It is NOT to be uploaded to ANY
- Bulletin Board or ANY online service. Anyone caught doing so, or any
- BBS caught having it online WILL BE PROSECUTED TO THE FULLEST EXTENT
- OF THE LAW. A-Wall IS Copyrighted By Billy Sargent. This version,
