FIDO and FIDONET Nodelists are Copyright Tom Jennings UNREGISTERED VERSIONS ARE DEMONSTRATIONS ONLY If not registered within 30 days, Please Discontinue use. !!! NODE-DOOR will stop functioning if unregistered !!! Avoid this by registering within 30 days NODE-DOOR is Shareware, not FreeWare * May require DORINFO#.DEF for registered versions NODE-DOOR is a simple to install node list searching door that will allow users maximum flex ability when looking up addresses and other information located in the RAW nodelist. Because it uses the RAW nodelist, There is little overhead associated with built-in or other add-on nodelist look-up utilities. You do not need another compiled nodelist to run NODE-DOOR. This also allows NODE-DOOR to run on almost any BBS software package. Up to 15 Nodelists can be configured through the use of a Config file explained later. To Install simply copy the file NODEDOOR.EXE into a directory. Then using any style of door exit, use the following command line. * CONSULT YOUR BBS SOFTWARE MANUAL FOR THE PROPER INSTALLATION OF DOOR PROGRAMS. * LOCKED BAUD RATES for High Speed Modems. You must properly lock your Baud Rate. Here are two examples of a properly locked Fossil.

Please check you BBS software for instructions on installing door programs. WARNING! This door requires a FOSSIL driver such as BNU or X00. CONFIGURATION FILE: The Configuration now serves two purposes, 1. It contains the node information and 2. contains the nodelist information. SAMPLE NODEDOOR.CFG FILE ======================== ; Any text following a semi-colon (;), and blank lines, are ignored. ; ;------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ; ; BBS system directory. Indicates where the door information file (drop file) ; can be found.

NODE-DOOR can usually determine the sysop's name from the ; information passed to the door by the BBS. However, some BBS software does ; not supply this information to doors. In such cases, if the sysop's name is ; required by the door, it may be supplied here. Remove the semi-colon (;) to ; activate this option. ; SysopName Don Laverdure ; ;------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ; ; Name of the BBS. NODE-DOOR can usually determine the name of the BBS from ; the information passed to the door by the BBS. However, some BBS software ; does not supply this information to door programs. In such cases, if the ; name of the BBS is needed by the door, it may be supplied here. Remove the ; semi-colon (;) to activate this option. ; SystemName DRL BBS ; ;------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ; ; Your Registration Key Code supplied when registered. If you have ; already registered NODE-DOOR, Simply enter your key here. If not, ; Please register :) ; ; REGISTRATIONKEY 0 ;------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ; ; Door colour options. These options specify the various text colours that ; will be used by the door if ANSI or AVATAR graphics modes are available. ; Colours are specified in the format: ; ; {Bright} {Flashing} [Foreground Colour] on [Background Colour] ; ; Where foreground and background colours are one of: ; ; Black ; Blue ; Green ; Cyan ; Red ; Magenta ; Yellow / Brown ; White / Grey ; ChatUserColour Bright white on black ChatSysopColour Bright red on black ; ;------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ; ; Memory swapping options. These options are generally not needed, but can be ; used to customize OpenDoor's swapping behaviour. "SwappingDir" can be used ; to specify which directory or directories should be used for swapping. ; Multiple directory paths can be seperated using a semi-colon. ; "SwappingNoEMS" can be used to prevent any swapping from being done to EMS ; memory, and "SwappingDisable" can be used to disable memory swapping ; altogether. Remove the semi-colon (;) to activate any of these options. ; ;SwappingDir C:\ ;SwappingNoEMS ;SwappingDisable ; ;------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ; ; Modem options. These options are generally not needed, as they can usually ; be determined from the BBS door information file. "LockedBPS" specifies the ; the BPS rate at which the door should communicate with the modem. Valid ; rates are 300, 600, 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600, 19200 and 38400. A BPS rate of 0 ; forces the door to always operate in local mode. "FossilPort" specifies the ; FOSSIL driver port number that the modem is connected to. Usually, FOSSIL ; port 0 corresponds to COM1, FOSSIL port 1 to COM2, and so on. Remove the ; semi-colon (;) to activate either of these options. ; ;LockedBPS 38400 ;FossilPort 0 ; ;------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ; ; Custom door information file support. NODE-DOOR automatically recognizes ; most door information file (drop file) formats, including DORINFO?.DEF, ; EXITINFO.BBS, DOOR.SYS, SFDOORS.DAT, CALLINFO.BBS and CHAIN.TXT. However, ; to permit NODE-DOOR doors to operate on BBS systems that produce a different ; format file, you may define a custom door information file format. A custom ; door information file format is defined using the "CustomFileName" command, ; followed by one or more lines beginning with the "CustomFileLine" command. ; ; The "CustomFileName" option specifies the filename used to distinguish this ; file format from other file formats. This filename should not include a ; path. To specify the path where the door information file is located, use ; the BBSDir setting, near the beginning of this file. If the filename of the ; custom format is the same as that of one of the built-in formats, the custom ; format will override the built-in format. ; ; The actual format of the custom file is specified using a number of lines ; that begin with the keyword "CustomFileLine". Each of these lines will ; correspond to a single line in the door information file, with the option ; following the "CustomFileLine" keyword specifying the information that can ; be found on that line. This can be one of the following keywords: ; ; Ignore - Causes the next line in the door information ; file to be ignored. Use on lines for which none ; of the options below apply. ; ComPort - COM? port the modem is connected to ; (0 indicates local mode) ; FossilPort - Fossil port number the modem is connected to ; ModemBPS - BPS rate at which to communicate with modem ; (0 or non-numerical value indicates local mode) ; LocalMode - 1, T or Y if door is operating in local mode ; UserName - Full name of the user ; UserFirstName - First name(s) of the user ; UserLastName - Last name of the user ; Alias - The user's psuedonym / handle ; HoursLeft - Hours user has left online ; MinutesLeft - Minutes user has left online, or time left online ; in format hh:mm ; SecondsLeft - Seconds user has left online, or time left online ; in format hh:mm:ss or format mm:ss ; (If more than one of the above time options are ; used, the user time left is taken to be the total ; of all of these values.) ; ANSI - 1, T, Y or G for ANSI graphics mode ; AVATAR - 1, T or Y for AVATAR graphics mode ; PagePausing - 1, T or Y if user wishes a pause at end of screen ; ScreenLength - Number of lines on user's screen ; ScreenClearing - 1, T or Y if screen clearing mode is on ; Security - The user's security level / access level ; City - City the user is calling from ; Node - Node number user is connected to ; SysopName - Full name of the sysop ; SysopFirstName - The sysop's first name(s) ; SysopLastName - The sysop's last name ; SystemName - Name of the BBS ; ; CustomFileName EXAMPLE.DEF ; Same format as DORINFO?.DEF CustomFileLine SystemName CustomFileLine SysopFirstName CustomFileLine SysopLastName CustomFileLine ComPort CustomFileLine ModemBPS CustomFileLine Ignore CustomFileLine UserFirstName CustomFileLine UserLastName CustomFileLine City CustomFileLine ANSI CustomFileLine Security CustomFileLine MinutesLeft ; ;------------------------------------------------------------------------------ NOTE: NODE-DOOR begins looking for the nodelist starting at today's Julian date plus 5 days. If todays Julian date is 195, Then NODE-DOOR will begin looking for NODELIST.200 and work back to get the most recent nodelist available. Some nets number their nodelists differently, if this is the case then NODE-DOOR will not be able to locate that list. IE: CITYLINK.666 will be unavailable to NODE-DOOR If today's date is 195 Julian, and you have NODELIST.289 then it will not be available until DAY 284. It is important to maintain an up to date nodelist for this and other obvious reasons. Users like up to date info. Placing an asterix (*) in front of the description will cause NODE-DOOR to override the Nodelist description in the nodelist if available. ON-LINE HELP: The NODE-DOOR help screen is incorporated into the main screen. By default the built in help or explanation of commands screen will be displayed. You can override this and place your own help screen by creating an ANSI or ASCII file called NODEDOOR.ASC or ANS. These files can contain some of the usual user codes. NOTE: The screen should not position the cusor or clear the screen see sample NODEDOOR.ANS NODEDOOR.ASC files. FULL SCRREN HELP files and cursor positioning will cause unpredictable results. It is best to simply edit the supplied files without changing their length. ^FA User's full name ^FB User's location ^FO User's Security level ^FW User's First name only ^FX Ansi Setting ^KO Min left ^KW Node User is currently on ( not available on all systems ) ( ^F = Control F or Char 006 ASCII ) * NOTE: Do not exceed 10 lines or the screen will become distorted. Enclosed is a sample NODEDOOR.ANS. The ANSI draw utility must not use screen clears or cursor position codes. (I would just edit the sample) The screen must maintain room for the Search String Prompt and Display. SYSOP KEYS: arrow up = increase user time arrow down = decrease user time alt H = hang up alt L = Lock out alt K = turn off caller's keyboard alt D = drop to BBS F1 = caller info display F9 = Help bar USING NODEDOOR: When selected, you will be asked to enter a search string. This is what Node Door will use to compare against the nodelist. Do not use the underscores IE: Don Laverdure *NOT* Don_Laverdure. You can search for any string you feel might be contained in the nodelist. To find a list of the boards in Kingston Ontario, simply enter a search string of "Kingston" or "Kingston on". Note that "Kingston Ont" will not work as the entries in the nodelist all contain "ON" and not "ONT" for Ontario. You can search for phone numbers like "1-613" to get all 613 area code listings, or Bill to get a list of boards that have a SysOp by the name of "Bill" or the word "Bill" in the BBS name, ect... Capitalization is not important. Spelling is. Note that SysOp name do not appear but are valid for searching, Just as are user flags like "UNEC", "HST" or "USDS". Do not include Quotes. Systems marked as Down will not appear in the listings as they are un-dialable any way. To exit the door, simply enter a blank search string. To abort the search while in progress, press S. To set search NON-STOP on or off press C To turn Visual display on or off press V While visual is OFF, a marker will appear on line 1 of the list are to indicate the number of matches that were written to the BBS List file. Well, That is all there is to it. It is a fairly fast door when you think about the size of the nodelist. My callers and I find it very helpful and I hope you do too.
