- ! UPGRADING FROM VERSIONS BELOW VERSION 3.0 OF MATCHMAKER:
- ProMatch Version 3.0 represents an 80% rewrite of ProMatch. To upgrade
- Delete everything in your ProMatch directory except your Door*.cfg files
- and .key file if you have registered. RipScript was taken OUT of ProMatch
- due to the fact that Ripterm 2.??????? cannot be run on this author's board
- without it corrupting the file allocation table, locking up, and more.
-
- HOW TO USE PRO MATCHMAKER :
- --------------------------------
-
- 1. To run PMATCH3.exe locally, use this on your command line:
-
- PMATCH3 LOCAL
-
- 2. ALWAYS include the name of your .cfg file when calling up PMATCH3 as an
- online door: For example for node 1
-
- PMATCH3 DOOR1.CFG
-
- 3. For non standard IRQs, you can use this for an example:
-
- PMATCH3 DOOR1.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 PMATCH3 with a fossil driver. For Example:
-
- PMATCH3 DOOR1.CFG /FD
-
- Notice to use the fossil driver you put a /FD on the command line.
-
- * 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 .
-
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- USING INTERBBS MODULES WITH PROMATCH:
- ====================================
- Detailed information on InterBBS Data Sharing with PROMATCH is contained in
- the enclosed archives PHASE1.ZIP AND PHASE3.ZIP.
- Briefly: Phase1 InterBBS allows you to swap PROMATCH data by means of a netmail
- file attach. Phase3 InterBBS allows you to receive and transmit
- data directly from EchoMail.
-
- To Use Phase 1 InterBBS with PROMATCH:
- * Unarchive and read instructions in phase1.zip
- * Call PROMATCH up with PHASE1 on the command line. Example:
- PMATCH3 DOOR1.CFG PHASE1
- * The files PROFILE.TMP, MATCH.TMP & *.JSG will be created when data is
- entered for processing.
-
- To Use Phase 3 InterBBS with PROMATCH:
- * Unarchive and read instructions in phase3.zip
- * Call PROMATCH up with PHASE3 on the command line. Example:
- PMATCH3 DOOR1.CFG PHASE3
- * The files PROFILE.3PR, MATCH.3CL & *.3SG will be created when data is
- entered for processing.
-
- You can use 1 or all of the InterBBS methods. For example:
- PMATCH3 DOOR1.CFG PHASE1 PHASE3
-
- ! If you plan to run InterBBS you MUST call PMATCH up with one of the
- phases!
-
- ! Attached graphic files ARE interBBS with Phase 1 InterBBS. Attached
- graphic files ARE NOT InterBBS at this time with Phase 3.
-
- ! If you run interbbs DO NOT ALTER THE QUESTIONS IN THE USER PROFILE SECTION.
- (PFILE.DAT, PURITY.DAT, PERTEST.DAT). If you are NOT running InterBBS then
- you can edit these files to your taste.
-
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-
- SUPPORT FILES NEEDED TO RUN PMATCH3:
- ------------------------------------
-
- DSZ.EXE or some other external protocol engine to upload and download attaches
- %1 is the comport passed to the batch, %2 is the filename.
- PKZIP/PKUNZIP is needed to zip up/unzip outgoing interbbs packages Phase 1.
-
- ABOUT YOUR DOOR 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. MAKE DOUBLE SURE YOUR NAME IN THE DOOR*.CFG IS THE SAME AS IN YOUR
- .KEY FILE)
-
- Example .cfg file:
-
- c:\sbbs\node1\door.sys
- Compu<>Link Online
- Jerry
- Woody
-
- DOOR*.CFG =MUST= reside in the same directory as PMATCH3.EXE!
-
- PMATCH3 MUST BE RUN FROM IT'S OWN DIRECTORY; NOT THROUGH A PATH STATEMENT,
- etc.
-
- ABOUT *UP.BAT and *DOWN.BAT:
- ----------------------------
- Enclosed are sample .bat files to call dsz upload for Display Advertising.
- You can edit these to custom configure your system. Ymodem, Xmodem and Zmodem
- is supported. THE SIMPLIEST DSZ CALL HAVE BEEN PUT INTO THE
- *UP.BAT BATCH FILES INCLUDED IN THIS ARCHIVE. YOU NEED TO RE-WRITE THEM TO
- CONFIGURE THEM TO YOUR SYSTEM. Same with *DOWN.BAT files.
-
- ABOUT Module.CTL:
- =================
- Pmatch has the ability to run external modules written by WoodyWare. These
- modules are things we want to put in PMATCH but because of memory, etc. cannot
- be built in. Module.Ctl is read by PMATCH to find out what external programs
- are available to run and will run them if the user picks them. The format
- of Module.CTL is:
-
- DESCRIPTION OF THE PROGRAM
- PROGRAM
- DESCRIPTION OF THE PROGRAM
- PROGRAM
-
- For example:
-
- Spin the Bottle Game
- GAME1.EXE
-
- If no Module.CTL file is found Pmatch will tell the user no external modules
- are available.
-
-
