- NODE-DOOR 2.07 Copyright (C) 1992, Don Laverdure
-
-
-
- Compatible with: RA SBBS QBBS MAXIMUS TAG PCBoard Wildcat Spitfire and more
-
- * 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 10 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.
-
- NODEDOOR path1 path2 0 1 ZOOM
- path1 is the path to your DORINFO1.DEF File
- path2 is the path where the raw nodelist is located. The nodelist must
- be un-compressed and follow standard fidonet naming techniques.
- 0 place a 0 after the second path
- 1 this is the node for multi-node boards. If you are running this
- door on node 2 then this would be set to 2 so that the door will
- look for DORINFO2.DEF rather then DORINFO1.DEF.
- Under RA and some other systems, This would be set to 1 for all
- nodes as they all use the dorinfo1.def
- ^
- ZOOM If present, NODE-DOOR will default to ZOOM MODE, otherwise
- NODE-DOOR will be in FAST MODE.

-
-
- CONFIGURATION FILE: (Registered Users Only)
-
- Through the use of a CONFIGURATION FILE, NODE-DOOR can access up to 10
- different nodelists. This is to allow Sysops who support other networks the
- ability to let their users search those lists. One that comes to mind is
- IMEXNET. As long as the nodelist is FidoNet compatible, Node-Door will
- function with it. The Configuration file is a standard Text File named
- NODEDOOR.CFG. The file must contain 2 lines for each nodelist used. All
- nodelists must be in the Nodelist Path used in the command line. The first
- line is the name less extension of the nodelist, Nodedoor automatically finds
- the most recent list and extension, and the second line is the description you
- would like placed in the menu for that nodelist.
-
- 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.
-
-
- IE:
-
- NODELIST
- FULL FidoNet Node List
- IMEXLIST
- FULL IMEXnet Node List
- ADULT
- Adult Link Node List
-
- RESULT:
-
- Nodelists available on The Pie in the Sky BBS
-
- 0 - FULL FidoNet Node List
- 1 - FULL IMEXnet Node List
- 2 - Adult Link Node List
- Z - Toggle ZOOM mode OFF
- Q - Quit to BBS

-
- 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
- ^KX Disconnect the user (careful about this one :) )
-
- ( ^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.
-
- The screen must maintain room for the Search String Prompt and Display.

- 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 search NON-STOP press C
-
- 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.
-
- NODE-DOOR is self scanning to detect viruses.
