- INTRODUCTION
-
- SUBSF is a utility written in Turbo Pascal 6.0 for Spitfire BBS.
- It passes the parameters necessary for running a second copy of
- Spitfire as a door from the first. Have you ever wondered how you
- could allow users to use HANDLES in adult message areas, but have them
- use their REAL names in the general areas? Spitfire does not allow
- for this by default, but it can be done by using SUBSF and a second
- copy of Spitfire. The idea is to set the second SF up as a SUB-BOARD
- below the MAIN board. The caller runs the sub-board as he/she would
- ANY other BBS door program.
-
-
- SHAREWARE
-
- SUBSF is Shareware. It is not FREE. You are invited to use it for
- a trial period of not more than 14 days. After the 14 days, if you
- continue to use SUBSF, you MUST send in the registration fee. The
- registration is a mere $10 and for registering it you are entitled to
- ALL future releases at no additional charge. Also, you will receive a
- serial number which will be written to your SF log file (if the logging
- option is selected). I haven't crippled SUBSF in any way. I'm relying
- on everyone's conscience to register it if they continue using it.

- FILES
-
- The archive, SUBSF32.ZIP, should contain the following files. If any
- files were missing or the file sizes are different than those listed,
- do not use SUBSF and contact my BBS at (209)826-8021 for an authorized
- copy.

- INSTALLATION/OPERATION
-
- SUBSF is fairly simple to install. Here are the step-by-step
- instructions for installation:
-
- 1. UNZIP SUBSF32.ZIP into a directory of its own or into Spitfire's main
- system directory.
-
- 2. Run SUBSFCFG.EXE and enter the information as prompted. When asked,
- "How many security levels", enter the total number of security
- levels of your MAIN board that will have access to the sub-board.
- You can set Violation Warning Ratio and Violation Enforcement Ratio
- as well as MPC, MPD, DLPD and QL for each level having access to the
- sub-board. Proceed with entering the relevant data for each level.
-
- 3. Using any text editor, edit the file, SUBSF.CFG to comply with your
- particular system. The format of SUBSF.CFG is as follows:
-
- Line1: Path to MAIN BBS (ie. C:\SF)
- Line2: Path to the sub-board (ie. C:\SFSUB)
- Line3: Write 'YES' to have SUBSF log to CALLERS.TMP, write 'NO'
- to disable logging.
- Line4: Security Levels of the sub-board, one line for each.
- .
- .
- .
- Line8: Up to 10 different security levels can be configured.
-
- NOTE: These are security levels of your SUB-BOARD, not the MAIN board.
-
- 4. Edit your main SF.BAT to run SUBSF.EXE. Here's an example batch file
- to run SUBSF:
-
- :DOOR_A
- @ECHO OFF
- CD\SF
- SUBSF
- IF ERRORLEVEL 1 GOTO LOOP
- CD\SFSUB
- CALL SFSUB
- CD\SF
- GOTO LOOP
-
- Here's an example of your SFSUB.BAT batch file:
-
- @ECHO OFF
- :LOOP
- C:
- CD\SFSUB
- CALL DOSUB
- IF ERRORLEVEL 58 GOTO LOOP
- IF ERRORLEVEL 57 GOTO DOOR_Z
- IF ERRORLEVEL 56 GOTO DOOR_Y
- .
- .
- (The rest of the DOOR and EVENT labels)
-
-
- 5. Add the sub-board to Spitfire's SFDOOR.MNU as you would any other
- door game or program.
-
- That's about all there is to it. If you run into ANY problems with
- SUBSF, I will provide tech-support via my BBS.
- Call me at Data-Tech BBS, (209)826-8021, USR 9600 V.32.
