- By Jeff Rigo, SysOp of Anonymous Plague BBS
- (412)653-4711 FidoNet 1:129/154 14.4k HST TAG 2.6
-
- What it does:
- 'Da List is a DOOR, that is, it is a program written to be run in a bulletin
- board environment, capable of receiving input from the remote end.
- But that's not all! Its also a BBS LIST program. Its a database for storing
- BBS numbers and information in a very neat manner.
-
- Files included:
-
- NAME | DESCRIPTION
- ===========================================================================
- DA_LIST.EXE | Main file, run on shell to dos. The actual program.
- DA_LIST.DOC | YOU'RE READING IT!
- DA_LIST.CTL | Control File. This file contains certain BBS info. Read on.
- DA_LIST.REG | Registration code file. Codes to determine registration.
- DA_LIST.TXT | BBS listing created by 'Da List. ASCII format
- DA_LIST.LOG | SysOp log file. Keeps track of what was done.
- DA_LIST.BAT | Sample batch file
- DA_LIST.ASC | ASCII (non-color) menu for 'Da List
- DA_LIST.ANS | ANSI (color) menu for 'Da List
- REGISTER.DOC | ASCII file to edit and mail for registration
-
-
- Setup:
- Setup of 'Da List is very easy. Simply follow these steps:
-
- 1) Create a subdirectory for the program. C:\BBS\DA_LIST is a good choice.
- 2) UnArchive all files into this directory
- 3) Edit the DA_LIST.CTL file. Change BBS and SysOp names, BBS types, etc.
- 4) Edit the enclosed .BAT file for your BBS. Consult your BBS manual for
- more information. Read on for a sample.
- 5) Test it!
-
- Running 'Da List:
- 'Da List uses a command line for execution. The syntax is as follows:
-
- DA_LIST /Nx /P<path>
-
- /Nx : This is the node that you are running on if in a DORINFOx.DEF
- multi-node environment. /N1 for only one node systems.
-
- /P<path> : This is the path to the BBS drop file (DORINFOx.DEF, DOOR.SYS, etc)
- Examples follow:
-
- DA_LIST /N1 /PC:\BBS
- This tells 'Da List to load in a one-node environment and look for the
- BBS drop file in the directory C:\BBS
-
- DA_LIST /N2 /PC:\DA_LIST
- This tells 'Da List to load for node 2 and to look for the BBS drop file
- in C:\DA_LIST
-
- Deleting BBS listings:
- If you want to delete the listing, feel free to do so to make a new one.
- HOWEVER: You must edit the DA_LIST.REG file and change the last line to
- "0000". This resets the program to start fresh. ALSO: You must either
- create a blank DA_LIST.TXT file or use the started one that came in the
- archive. 'DA LIST WILL GIVE A RUNTIME ERROR 002 IF A FILE IS MISSING!!!
- CHECK FILE LIST TO SEE WHICH ONE!!!
-
-
- Registration:
- I know what you're thinking: "Why should I register? I can always get
- another." But look what you'd be missing in the registered version:
- o Unlimited number of BBS listings [UNREGISTERED = 7]
- o Internal ZModem downloading of the listing
- o Notification by mail of next version
- o FREE Registration on all future versions

- editor and mail it along with $5 to:
