PROGRAM DESCRIPTION: Have you ever had users that constantly drop carrier in
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~  door games? Do you have some users who cry over the
scores etc..? Now you can lock these users from the doors of your choice!
BadUser will check a text file maintained by you -- and will keep these
unwanted users from playing those selected games/programs. The nice thing
is they won't know what is wrong (if you select the STANDARD configuration).
BadUser sends them no sign that it is being run except for a fake ERROR
message which says "COM Port Error -- Returning to BBS". In CUSTOM mode,
you may make and send a ANSI screen to the user. If BadUser finds a "bad
user" it will create a file called BAD.BAD. The DOOR.BAT file will see it
and skip the main door program and head back to the BBS (see the sample
batch file included).

INSTALLATION: Edit the FOUR lines in the BADUSER.CFG file to something like
~~~~~~~~~~~~  the lines listed below:

LINE 1: (One of the following type lines)

C:\PCB\PCBOARD.SYS  <=-  (Full pathname of your PCBOARD.SYS file)
C:\PCB\USERS.SYS    <=-  (Full pathname of your USERS.SYS file)
C:\BBS\DOOR.SYS     <=-  (Full pathname of your DOOR.SYS file)
C:\BBS\USERINFO.DAT <=-  (Full pathname of your USERINFO.DAT file)
C:\BBS\CALLINFO.BBS <=-  (Full pathname of your CALLINFO.BBS file)
C:\BBS\DORINFOx.DEF <=-  (Full pathname of your DORINFOx.DEF file
                          where 'x' is the BBS Node number.
C:\BBS\SFDOORS.DAT  <=-  (Full pathname of your SFDOORS.DAT file)

LINE 2: (BBS Name)
T&J Software        <=-  (Change this to your BBS name)

LINE 3: (Sysop's first name)
Tom                 <=-  (The Sysop's first name)

LINE 4; (Sysop's last name)
Wildoner            <=-  (The Sysop's last name)

BATCH FILE SETUP:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
ECHO OFF
CD\WC30\DOOR\LEMON
IF EXIST BAD.BAD DEL BAD.BAD
BADUSER BADUSER.CFG
IF EXIST BAD.BAD GOTO QUIT
LEMON LEMON.CFG
:QUIT
IF EXIST BAD.BAD DEL BAD.BAD

1: Turn ECHO OFF -- not needed
2: Change to your door directory.
3: Run BadUser -- if a bad user is found the program will create a
   small file called BAD.BAD.
4: Checks to see if BAD.BAD was created -- if it was it will skip to
   QUIT and bypass the real door. If the BAD.BAD file is not found
   your real door will operate as normal.
5: Your actual door program (however many lines it takes).
6: Batch file branch if a bad user was found.
7: Delete the BAD.BAD file if it is there.

To run in LOCAL mode simply enter:  BADUSER LOCAL

SETUP: Pull up the SYSOP.CFG file and make the required changes. Descriptions
~~~~~  are listed in the SYSOP.CFG file.

Multinode Note: This Door is multi-node  compatible so you may run more than 1
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~  node from the same .CFG file provided the path to your system
file (DORINFOx.DEF, CALLINFO.BBS, etc) is exactly the same unless you are using
environment variables, (q.v.)

Environment Variables: PCBoard automatically creates the %PCBDRIVE% & %PCBDIR%
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~  environment variables. Non-PCBoard systems may also use
these variables by including the following in either your BBS batch or
AUTOEXEC.BAT

  SET PCBDRIVE=C:               <- Drive letter of your BBS files
  SET PCBDIR=\BBSDIR            <- Path to your BBS files

Then in your Door .CFG file instead of putting C:\BBSDIR\DOOR.SYS, you
would put %PCBDRIVE%%PCBDIR%\DOOR.SYS. This allows you to use just one
.CFG file for multi-node operation!

To specify a non-standard IRQ, put the IRQ number after the .CFG on the
command line.  For example:

     BADUSER BADUSER.CFG /5

or using the PCBDRIVE procedure:   SET IRQ=5   and use

     BADUSER BADUSER.CFG /%IRQ%

This tells the program to use IRQ 5 instead of the standard IRQ.

  Had reports of conflicts when using non-standard IRQ's on Novell/Netware
 systems. Seems Novell also uses the / character so something went screwy
 somewhere. So I added the * (asterisk) which may be used instead of the /
 in case of a conflict. In other words, /%IRQ% and *%IRQ% will both work
 and are interchangeable.

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

Fossil Driver Support: DoorFrame supports the use of Fossil drivers.  To tell
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~  your Door to use the Fossil driver instead of the
standard COM ports, just put /FD on the command line when running the door.
For example:

     MYDOOR MYDOOR.CFG /FD

indicates that a Fossil driver is present and should be used. If no Fossil
driver is detected, DoorFrame will print a message to that effect and exit
the door gracefully.

Sysop Keys:
~~~~~~~~~~
F3    -  Toggles the printer On/Off. Value is passed to PCBoard and/or
         written to DOOR.SYS and USERS.SYS
F4    -  Toggles the Page Bell on/off. Value is passed to PCBoard
         and/or written to DOOR.SYS and USERS.SYS
F5    -  DOS Shell. Allows SysOp to exit to DOS from inside a DOOR.

         and/or written to DOOR.SYS and USERS.SYS
F8    -  Returns the caller involuntarily to the BBS.
