-
- PROGRAM DESCRIPTION:
- ====================
-
- A simple door program to keep users out of doors if they don't keep
- a good upload/download ratio. You set the ratio to maintain in the
- SYSOP.CFG file. Let's say you put 20 in for the ratio. That means
- you want your users to keep at least a 20 DL/1 UL ratio in order to
- use the door.
-
- A special file called RATIO.USR is included. If you have users who
- you want to bypass the ratio checking, just add their name in this
- text file.
-
- If Ratio! finds a "bad user" it will create a file called BAD.BAD. The
- DOOR.BAT file will see it and skip the main door program and head back
- to the BBS (see the sample batch file included).
-
-
- NOTE:
- =====
-
- The door will only operate properly using PCBOARD.SYS, DOOR.SYS,
- SFDOORS.DAT, or CHAIN.TXT.
-

-
- This Door is multi-node compatible so you may run more than 1 node from
- the same .CFG file provided the path to your system file (DORINFOx.DEF,
- CALLINFO.BBS, etc) is exactly the same unless you are using environment
- variables, (q.v.)
-
- Environment Variables
- =====================
-
- PCBoard automatically creates the %PCBDRIVE% & %PCBDIR% environment
- variables. Non-PCBoard systems may also use these variables by including
- the following in either your BBS batch or AUTOEXEC.BAT
- SET PCBDRIVE=C: <- Drive letter of your BBS files
- SET PCBDIR=\BBSDIR <- Path to your BBS files
- Then in your Door .CFG file instead of putting C:\BBSDIR\DOOR.SYS, you
- would put %PCBDRIVE%%PCBDIR%\DOOR.SYS. This allows you to use just one
- .CFG file for multi-node operation!
-
- To specify a non-standard IRQ, put the IRQ number after the .CFG on the
- command line. For example:
-
- RATIO RATIO.CFG /5
- or using the PCBDRIVE procedure: SET IRQ=5 and use
- RATIO RATIO.CFG /%IRQ%
-
- This tells the program to use IRQ 5 instead of the standard IRQ.
-
- Had reports of conflicts when using non-standard IRQ's on Novell/Netware
- systems. Seems Novell also uses the / character so something went screwy
- somewhere. So I added the * (asterisk) which may be used instead of the /
- in case of a conflict. In other words, /%IRQ% and *%IRQ% will both work
- and are interchangeable.
-
- When specifying the location of the system file on line 1 of the doors .CFG
- file, you may use the environment variables %pcbdrive%, %pcbdir%, %pcbnode%,
- and %wcnodeid%. Some examples:
- PCBoard:
- USERS.SYS in C:\PCB - %pcbdrive%%pcbdir%\USERS.SYS
- USERS.SYS in C:\PCB\NODE1 - %pcbdrive%%pcbdir%\NODE%pcbnode%\USERS.SYS
-
- Wildcat!:
- USERINFO.DAT in C:\WC\NODE1 - C:\WC\NODE%wcnodeid%
-
- Non-PCBoard systems may use the PCB environment variables by setting them
- in either AUTOEXEC.BAT or in the batch that runs the door. For example:
- SET PCBDRIVE=C:
- SET PCBDIR=\BBSDIR
- SET PCBNODE=1
-
- Fossil Driver Support
- ---------------------
- DoorFrame supports the use of Fossil drivers. To tell your Door to use the
- Fossil driver instead of the standard COM ports, just put /FD on the command
- line when running the door. For example:
- MYDOOR MYDOOR.CFG /FD
- indicates that a Fossil driver is present and should be used. If no Fossil
- driver is detected, DoorFrame will print a message to that effect and exit
- the door gracefully.
-
-

-
-
- BATCH FILE SETUP!
- ================
-
- ECHO OFF
- CD\WC30\DOOR\LEMON
- RATIO RATIO.CFG
- IF EXIST BAD.BAD GOTO QUIT
- LEMON LEMON.CFG
- :QUIT
- IF EXIST BAD.BAD DEL BAD.BAD
-
- 1: Turn ECHO OFF -- not needed
- 2: Change to your door directory.
- 3: Run Ratio! -- if a bad user is found the program will create a
- small file called BAD.BAD.
- 4: Checks to see if BAD.BAD was created -- if it was it will skip to
- QUIT and bypass the real door. If the BAD.BAD file is not found
- your real door will operate as normal.
- 5: Your actual door program (however many lines it takes).
- 6: Batch file branch if a bad user was found.
- 7: Delete the BAD.BAD file if it is there.
-
- To run in LOCAL mode simply enter: RATIO LOCAL
