- INFO DOOR
- (C) Copyright 1992 by Stanley Sheff
- Support BBS: The Brainex System
- (310) 275-2344
- (310) 273-5234
- -------------------------------------------
-
- Here's a simple door that will do just one thing: Show a text file!
- I'm sure you will find many uses for this door such as:
-
- Display Instructions for a door.
- Show your BBS User Manual or Help File
- Tell a caller a door is down.
-
- This door works with GAP, PCBoard, Wildcat, Spitfire, WWIV, and RBBS,
- as well as any BBS that generates a DOOR.SYS file when running a door.
-
- INFODOOR requires the Brainex Door Manager. If you have not done so,
- please install the door manager first!
-
- The setup of INFO DOOR is simple, all you need to do is type:
-
- SETUP
-
- INFODOOR.EXE will be copied to your BRAINEX directory.
- INFODOOR.DOC will be copied to your BRAINEX\INFODOOR directory.
-
- To display a text file use the command:
-
- INFODOOR NODE=x FILE=NAME
-
- x is your node number.
-
- NAME is the actual name of the text file to display. You can
- have two file versions, a plain text ASCII and an ANSI COLOR.
- Just add a G to the actual file name for color: NAMEG
-
- Here's how you could show a BBS user manual located in a C:\DOCFILES
- directory. Files in this directory would be MANUAL and MANUALG...
-
- INFODOOR NODE=1 FILE=C:\DOCFILES\MANUAL
-
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- The following sysop functions are available while awaiting
- keyboard input :
-
- F5 - Shell to DOS.
- F8 - Twit user and return to BBS.
- F10 - Initiate chat with user.
- CF10 - Answer user page bell.
- Home - Main user stats.
- End - Displays sysop keys available.
- PgDn - Secondary user stats.
- Up Arrow - Increase user's time remaining by 5 minutes.
- Dn Arrow - Decrease user's time remaining by 5 minutes.
-
- One of the nicer features about using the TWIT key, is the user
- is not told that "the sysop wants them to return to the BBS".
- Instead, a very plain and simple message of "returning you to the
- BBS" is displayed. This way, the user is given no indication
- that the sysop is hovering about.
-
- When using the F5 shell to DOS key, to return to the door
- program, simply type EXIT at the DOS command prompt. It is not
- necessary to change directories back to the door directory.
- RomBrain is smart enough to know which drive and directory the
- door program is in and will reset the defaults upon return from
- DOS.
-
- The Up and Down Arrow keys increase and decrease the user's time
- respectively by 5 minutes for each press of the key. There is no
- indication of what is occurring (except by the fact the user's
- time remaining will change), so the sysop should try not to have
- a lead finger. The increase or decrease is effective only while
- the user is in RomBrain.
-
- When you register this door, the UNREGISTERED notice will not be
- shown when exiting the door.
-
- Have Fun!
