- I. INTRODUCTION:
-
- Newuser Doorworks! is a utility for SysOps (System Operators) which makes
- the user download certain SysOp (System Operator) defined text files, or
- any file really as a Newuser or with a certain security levels. This is
- just set up as an external door on your system, and easily run with a few
- external programs also mentioned throughout the manual. As you may have
- encountered before, a lot of bulletin board utilities or designed for one
- specific system and can't be used with anything else, unless someone has
- written a conversion utility for it. Newuser Doorworks! takes care of
- that problems by using a standard DOOR.SYS file (created by many bulletin
- board systems, including GAP, Telegard, and many others, or can also be
- created by using DoorMaster, DoorFix, or about any other conversion
- program). For Comport (Communication Port) routines, it uses DOORWAY(r).
-
- In the archive NDOOR550.EXE (Self-Extracting Archive), there should be
- the following files:
- SYSOP.DOC Newuser Doorworks! SysOp Installation Manual (the file you
- are reading now).
- NDOOR.EXE The main user door .EXE file. (i.e., this file is what
- makes the program tick).
- REGISTER.DOC Registration Form.
- INSTALL.EXE Newuser Doorworks! Configuration and Main Installation
- Program. This copies all files within a seperate archive
- into the proper directories and then asks you specific
- questions about your system.
- REVISION.DOC Revision History File (Kind of interesting to read and go
- back to see all the bum versions we had that didn't work
- at the beginning of DO Doorworks forming.
- DO_BETA.DOC Beta Application to become a DO Doorworks Beta Site and
- test Newuser Doorworks!. At the end of this file will be
- more information on becoming a Beta Site.
- DEDICATE.DOC The Dedication. This is who the program is dedicated to,
- this includes anybody who helped, gave suggestions, or did
- anything to benefit Newuser Doorworks!.
- SITES.DOC Most currently updated list of DO Doorworks Beta Sites
- around the country. You can find support at any of these.
- LICENSE.DOC Licensing documentation for use of the consumer.
- FILES.LST Sample FILES.LST for you to edit.
- ERRORS.DOC Common runtime errors and their explanations.
-
- System requirements for running Newuser Doorworks! or ANY DO Doorwork

- least 640k of RAM (Random Access Memory), a bulletin board system, a
- modem, be running on COM (Communications Port) 1-4 and be running DOS
- 3.30 or later. You need not run a front-end mailer for this program
- as it didn't care. It supports bauds 300-38.4k with the help of
- DOORWAY(r) routines.

- II. INSTALLATION:
-
- Installation of Newuser Doorworks! is quite simple and takes really only
- a few steps of this manual, the rest has help continually throughout the
- installation (INSTALL.EXE) program. Of course, the manual helps also.
-
- (A) First, Self-Extract the archive (NDOOR600.EXE) into the
- a test directory from which you will further install Newuser
- Doorworks! Usually a \TEST directory or close to that.
-
- (B) Next, switch to the directory where you have self-extracted all
- the files contained in this archive.
-
- (C) Now type INSTALL and follow the instructions given. If you
- follow these closely, you will have this program installed within
- a 10 minutes or less. Please read and print out the complete
- manual for further reference though.
-
- (D) Create a batch file called NDOOR.BAT which contains all the
- information for loading up the program. This file should look
- like the sample one given below.
-
- Sample NDOOR.BAT (Newuser Doorworks! Batch File):
- ─────────────────────────────────────────────────
