- DCRD - Door Carrier Drop MOD for RBBS-PC 17.4
- By: Dan Drinnon Copyright (c) 1992
-
- CREDITS:
- --------
- Special Thanks to Chip Morrow and Doug Wilson who wrote MailManager +PLUS+, the
- QWK Mail Door for RBBS. Without their program, I wouldn't have thought of this
- mod.
-
- DISCLAIMER:
- -----------
- Use these mods at your own risk, subject to the following text under header
- "RESTRICTIONS".
-
- RESTRICTIONS:
- -------------
- You are free to use these MODS for your own use. You may not redistribute
- them in modified form in anyway. You may not include them with major mods,
- such as, but not including, the MAPLE MODS, DGS MODS, or CDOR MODS. In
- other words, you MAY include them in the MAPLE MODS, DGS MODS and CDOR MODS,
- but NO OTHERS. If you are responsible for any major mods and your mods
- are not listed above, then you are not authorized to use the mods I wrote.
- The philosophy of RBBS, "Users Helping Users" is important to me, but
- unfortunatly, some sysops have decided to make it "Users Screwing Users",
- and therefore, I will not allow certain individuals use these mods.
- It should be quite OBVIOUS which mods are NOT included above. Finally,
- the code may be used by the copyright owners of RBBS-PC and if these mods
- are used in RBBS-PC, the copyright of these mods will then belong to the
- copyright owners of RBBS-PC.

- FILES:
- ------
- DCRD100 DOC This file
- RBBS-VAR NEW Changes for RBBS-VAR.BAS
- RSB2DCRD MRG merge file for RBBSSUB2.BAS
- RSB3DCRD MRG merge file for RBBSSUB3.BAS
-
-
- DESCRIPTION:
- ------------
- Modification for RBBS-PC v17.4 to let RBBS know that a DOOR specified in
- your DOORS.DEF file is "authorized" to drop carrier, or log off a user,
- without putting a "carrier dropped" in the callers file. This mod will
- put a "Logged Off from Door" in the callers file instead. This will help
- bulletin generator programs that make Top 30 Carrier Dropper type bulletins
- from wrongly listing people who log off from a door as carrier droppers.
-
- IMPLEMENTATION:
- ---------------
- Use Ken Goosen's BLED utility to automatically MERGE the *.MRG files
- into a stock RBBS source file:
- BLED /L /B RBBSSUB2.BAS RSB2DOOR.MRG RBBSSUB2.NEW
- BLED /L /B RBBSSUB3.BAS RSB3DOOR.MRG RBBSSUB3.NEW
- Copy the *.NEW files to their *.BAS files, and compile RBBS as described in
- the RBBS-PC documentation. You may want to add the merges in BY HAND if
- you are already running other mods to RBBS-PC. Copy RBBS-VAR.NEW over to
- RBBS-VAR.BAS, or add the changes in by hand. Finally compile RBBS-PC,
- as described in the RBBS-SRC.ZIP documentation.
-
- USEAGE:
- -------
- A 9th Parameter is added to the RBBS-PC DOORS.DEF control file, specifying
- whether the door can log off a user or not:
- Y - means Yes
- N - means No
- This parameter must be in CAPS.
- You will then have to change your DOORS.DEF file by adding the 9th parameter.
- Here's a sample DOORS.DEF file:
-
- GAMES,50,,S,"GAMES.BAT",N,,90,N
- MAILMGR,50,,S,"MAILMAN.BAT [NODE] [CBAUD]",N,,45,Y
- BBSLIST,50,,S,"BBSLIST.BAT",N,,45,N
- COMPLAIN,50,,S,"COMPLAIN.BAT",N,,10,Y
-
- In this doors.def file, GAMES does not allow for dropped carriers, but the
- MAILMGR does since it can be configured to log off users from the door itself.
- The BBSLIST does not, and finally, the COMPLAINt door does - it's a door where
- users can lodge complaints about the BBS, and if they do, the door hangs up on
- them.
-

- my BBS, The Cellar Door, at:
- 1-505-763-1795 3am - 2am MST (2am - 3am is reserved for netmail only)
- RBBSNet - 8:903/1
- FidoNet - 1:313/6

-
- PLUGS:
- ------
- If you want to run an excellent BBS, try one of these Major Mods:
-
- Maple - RBBS-MPL.ZIP The Maple Mods - after running these, you will never
- 216K want to go back to stock RBBS again, they feature
- many mods and cosmetic fixes. QB4.5 or PDS7.1 required.
- Cellar
- Door - RBBS-CDR.ZIP The Cellar Door Mods - (my mods). These mods feature
- 380K all the Maple mods, since I work with the Maple Mods,
- and more. With Scott McNay's Far string mods, you
- MUST have Microsoft BASIC PDS 7.1 to compile. Lots
- and lots of mods and fixes - the way RBBS oughta be.
- Includes all the original RBBS, except Library Support
- and MultiLink. "Better'n WildCat" - Annonymous Wildcat
- Sysop.
-
- Either of the above two mods will certainly help your BBS, your users,
- and you, by using well intergrated and tested mods.
