- to you for any damages, consequential or inconsequential.
-
- This program may not be included on any cd-rom technology that is

- terms and conditions.
-
- Features Overview
- =================
-
- o Supports the following BBS drop file formats:
- - PCBoard.Sys , Users.Sys
- - 52 line Door.Sys
- - Callinfo.BBS
- - SFdoors.Dat
- - GTUser.Dat
- - TriBBS.Sys
- - Dorinfox.Def
-
- o Com ports 1-4 With Standard IRQ's, ports 5 - 15 w/ support for non standard
- IRQs
-
- o Speeds up to 115K baud
-
- o Multi-Node
-
- o Internal OR Fossil Routines / Multi-Port boards using a fossil
-
- o Auto-Detect Ansi graphics and RipScript
-
- o Ansi or Ascii operations
-
- o Auto-Detect Baud Rate with locked speeds.
-
- o Allows Group Messages to New Users
-
- o Allows for NewUser Questionaire Form
-
- o Allows for FORCIBLE File download
-
- o Allows for "free" Selectable files download
-
- o Completely Configurable. Allows for "All" "None" or "Some" of the features
- above. It's up to the SysOps' discretion.
-
- o While this door was written to run on a SynchroNet or similar systems, it is
- very well suited for other BBS software:
- - For SynchroNet I would suggest putting the door up as a newuser event. The
- door handles it's own routines so no I/O interrupt is needed.
- - For other Systems such as QuickBBS that has an automatic execution in the
- menu(s) [for example: CTL-A], the program creates a database of users that has
- been in the door. So if the user has been in the door once as a new user, it
- will eject him/her when it is called up again.
-
- o To allow this door to be run more than once by a user, simply set up a batch
- file where after the user leaves the door it will DEL NEWUSER.DAT .
-
- R E G I S T R A T I O N I N F O R M A T I O N
-
- I'm including the registration information at the beginning 'cause if
- you're like me you probably get to the part on how to set the door up,
- hit ctl-brk and forget about the rest of the document `8-). Registration
- for the New User Online Door is only $5.
- When I receive your registration you will receive by U.S. postal service your
- registration code and instructions on how to register New User Door.
- PLEASE FILL OUT THE FILE REGISTER.FRM AND RETURN IT TO WOODYWARE TO ORDER YOUR
- REGISTRATION KEY.

- HOW TO USE NEWUSE1:
- -------------------------
-
- 1. To run Newuse1.exe locally, use this on your command line:
-
- NEWUSE1 LOCAL
-
- 2. ALWAYS include the name of your .cfg file when calling up Newuse1 as an
- online door:
-
- NEWUSE1 DOOR.CFG
-
- 3. For non standard IRQs, you can use this for an example:
-
- NEWUSE1 DOOR.CFG /5
-
- * PLEASE don't write and ask what IRQs to use on your non-standard systems.
- I've run comport 1 for 5 years and I have no idea in the world what your IRQs
- or system setup might be. That's -your- responsibility to know the setup of
- your system. Thanks.
-
- 4. It is highly recommended you use the internal communications routines but
- if you must you can call wetdoor5 with a fossil driver. For Example:
-
- NEWUSE1 DOOR.CFG /FD
-
- Notice to use the fossil driver you put a /FD on the command line.
-
- * On some systems I had reports you can't use the sysop function keys when a
- user is online and you use a fossil.
-
- * PLEASE NOTE: -Only- use the /FD command if the door's internal
- communications routines don't work on your system. The door utilizes it's
- own communications routines which are more reliable then the fossil driver
- selection available with the door. Remember- even if your mailer and / or BBS
- requires a fossil to run, this door doesn't require a fossil.
-
- * On 486DX Cpu's the math co-processors can't handle the floating point math.
- To fix this in your autoexec.bat file put in SET NO87=ON .
-
-
- ABOUT YOUR CONFIG FILE
- --------------
- Your config file is ascii file that has on the first line the
- path to your BBS drop file AND the name of your BBS drop file.
- On the second line is the name of your BBS. On the third line
- is your First name and on your Fourth line is your last name.
- (WHEN REGISTERING, THEY MUST BE EXACTLY LIKE YOU REGISTERED THE
- PROGRAM)
-
- Example .cfg file:
-
- c:\quickbbs\dorinfo1.def
- The Frontier BBS
- Jerry
- Woody
-
- DOOR.CFG =MUST= reside in the same directory as NEWUSE1.EXE!
-
- NEWUSE1 MUST BE RUN FROM IT'S OWN DIRECTORY; NOT THROUGH A PATH STATEMENT,
- ETC.
-
- ABOUT RUNNING THE DOOR
- ----------------------
-
- NEWUSE1 can be run from your bbs with either a shell or drop to dos,
- if your memory is large enough. For example, to run it as a type 7
- shell to dos for quickbbs the command line would be:
-
- command.com /c NEWUSER.bat or
- command.com *C NEWUSER.bat
-
- PLEASE SEE THE ENCLOSED NEWUSER.BAT FOR EXAMPLE.
-
- PLEASE NOTE. THIS IS NOT FREEWARE BUT SHAREWARE. IF YOU
- USE IT THEN -PAY- FOR IT. If you don't you might save a few
- bucks now but in a few years when the shareware system doesn't work
- and most of the door authors have gone commercial you'll be
- wishing you'd registered your shareware material. 'Nuff said.
-
- ABOUT *DOWN.BAT FILES
- =====================
- ZDOWN.BAT , YDOWN.BAT, XDOWN.BAT are batch files called by the program to
- call DSZ. These batch files are completely configurable to your system.
- The configuration contained in each batch file is THE SIMPLEST and may not
- work on your system. It's up to you to configure them to work with your
- system. Always tho be sure to use the %1 in the batch as the program sends
- the name of the file to the batch file which is 'recorded' in the %1.
-
- ABOUT *.MSG FILES
- =================
- - You will need to edit or delete/create these to reflect your system.
- First, DO NOT CONFUSE THE *.MSG FILES NEWUSER USES WITH STANDARD FIDONET *.MSG
- FORMAT. Sample *.MSG files are included in this archive. Simply use a text
- editor to write and save what you want the "message" to say. New User Door
- does the rest. IF YOU DO NOT WISH TO USE THIS FEATURE SIMPLY DELETE ALL THE
- *.MSG FILES. The New User Door will bypass the Messages to New User and go to
- the next part.
-
- ABOUT NEWUSER.FRM
- =================
- The Newuser.Frm is a "FreeForm" new user questionaire. Each question MUST BE
- ONLY 79 CHARACTERS LONG. New User Answers are printed to a file called
- NEWUSER.ASW. IMPORTANT: BE SURE YOU HAVE NO BLANK LINES AFTER YOUR LAST
- QUESTION IN YOUR NEWUSER.FRM! If you do not wish to use this feature simply
- delete NEWUSER.FRM. The New User Door will bypass the questionaire and go to
- the next part.
-
- ABOUT DOWNLOAD.CTL
- ==================
- The Download.CTL file is a list of "free" files you might want the new user to
- have and be able to download from this Door program. This files' format is on
- the first line a description of the file (and of course the file name) and the
- second line is the path and name for file. For example:
-
- Pkunzip.EXE To unzip your .Zip files
- c:\quickbbs\xpress\pkunzip.exe
-
- * IMPORTANT: DO NOT HAVE ANY BLANK LINES AT THE END OF YOUR DOWNLOAD.CTL FILE.
- IF YOU DO YOU WILL GET "INPUT PAST END OF FILE" ERRORS!
- * IMPORTANT: DSZ MUST BE AVAILABLE AS THE PROGRAM CALLS UP DSZ TO ALLOW THE
- USER TO DOWNLOAD THE FILES!
-
- If you do not wish to use this feature simply delete DOWNLOAD.CTL . The new
- user door will bypass the free download section and go to the next part.
-
- ABOUT FORCE.CTL
- ===============
- The Force.Ctl is similar to the download.Ctl file. However, ONLY ONE file may
- be forcible. The user cannot get out of the door without downloading the
- forcible file. I would suggest NOT using this feature as some new users may
- not know how to download. However, for the sake of completeness, this feature
- is included. Example Force.Ctl file is:
-
- REGISTER.FRM You must download this and mail it in to be registered.
- c:\quickbbs\files\misc\3607_20.lst
-
- * IMPORTANT: DSZ MUST BE AVAILABLE AS THE PROGRAM CALLS UP DSZ TO ALLOW THE
- USER TO DOWNLOAD THE FORCIBLE FILE!
-
- If you do not wish to use this feature simply delete FORCE.CTL. The new user
- door will bypass the free download section and exit the door.
- Where can I find the latest version of New User Door?
-
-
- =====================================================
-
- The latest version of New User Door is available by requesting
- NEWUSE from my system. FidoNet 1:3607/20.
