-
- Setting up The ON-LINE Catalog is fairly simple,
-
- OLCONFIG.EXE GENERAL SETUP, PATHS, CATAGORY DESCRIPTIONS
- CATALOG.EXE CATAGORY ITEMS AND EXTENDED INFO MODULE
- MAINT.EXE ORDER PROCESSING MODULE
- OLCAT.EXE THE DOOR PROGRAM
-
- NOTE: OLCONFIG.EXE FUNCTIONS AS THE MAIN MODULE, ALL MODULES CAN BE
- ACCESSED FROM THIS PROGRAM.
-
-
- You may send a run time parameter for the .CFG file when running
- olcat.exe, ie olcat.exe c:\bbs\door.sys
- This tells olcat where to find Door.sys (gap version)
-
- Sample Door#.bat file:
-
- cd\wildcat\door\olcat
- olcat.exe c:\bbs\door.sys
- cd\wildcat
-
- If no parameter is sent, olcat.exe will DEFAULT to the path specified
- in OLCONFIG.EXE. single node systems need only use OLCONFIG.EXE to set this.
-
- Multi node operation is possible, but requires the parameter to specify
- the path to door.sys i.e. : olcat.exe c:\wc30\wcwork\node2\door.sys
-
- NOTE: THIS DOOR IS NOT YET RATED FOR SIMULTANEOUS MULTIPLE USERS!
- ON A MULTI-NODE SYSTEM DO NOT ALLOW MORE THEN ONE CALLER AT
- A TIME INTO THIS DOOR. WHILE IT MOST LIKELY WOULD FUNCTION
- SAFELY, IT COULD CORRUPT YOUR DATA FILES OF SAVED QUOTES.
-
-
- With a conversion program, The ON-LINE Catalog will run on any bbs type,
- just convert the existing caller info file into DOOR.SYS (gap version)
-
- The ON-LINE Catalog does it's own monitoring of the active comport.
- No need for any watchdog type program.
- Standard Comports 1-4 are supported.
-
-
-
- To Order the Registered Version, send $65.00 (cash or check)
- with a completed printout of the enclosed REGISTER.TXT file to:
