- Door Source Door Installer for your doors
- Written by Todd Miller - Copyrighted 1991
-
- Introduction
- ------------
-
- Door Installer will let you write a simple script file of questions to ask the
- user, and the responses will be stored in the configuration file. So if you're
- going to have a long configuration file, you can add in the extra lines in
- the script file for this program, include it with your door, and then the
- other sysops can run this and easily install your door. It will always ask
- the sysop for the output configuration file's name, and the standard first
- four questions (BBS interface file, BBS Name, Sysop's first name, Sysop's
- last name) and then your questions.
-
- The script file
- ---------------
-
- The script file is VERY simple, all you do is put the number of extra
- questions you want to ask the user on the very first line of the file, and
- then just type the questions. The questions shouldn't be longer than 40
- characters or they'll overrun the window on the screen. An example of a
- script file would be:
-
- 5
- How many turns per day?
- How many plays per day?
- Name of high scores bulletin
- Name of log file
- Sysop's editor password
-
- This file specifies that it has five questions to ask on the first line, then
- the five questions to ask come directly after that. Specifing a 0 for the
- number of questions will cause Door Installer to only ask the standard first
- four questions and skip the script file.
-
- How to run Door Installer
- -------------------------
-
- To run Door Installer, simply type DOORINST followed by the name of the
- script file for the door to be installed, for example:
-
- DOORINST MYDOOR.SET
-
- This would load the MYDOOR script file and ask the questions for the
- configuration file.
