- ------------------------------------
-
- First of all:
- ------------
-
- Do NOT use this on versions of TriBBS PREVIOUS to 2.0!!!!!!!
-
- Now that THAT'S out of the way......
-
- Hello!!
-
- Thanks for downloading this TriBBS door! Basically, what this door
- does is allow you and/or your users to send a 10 line message to a user
- when (s)he logs on. It is up to you in your DOORS.MNU as to who as
- access to it (I let all users have access to it at this point). This note
- will be saved in both ANSI (.ans) and ASCII (.bbs).
-
- SendNote has multi-node capabilities; all you have to do is make
- separate configuration files for each node! It's THAT easy!
-
- SendNote now also adds the ability to send one note to up to 10
- people!
-
- Setup
- -----
- 1) Make a directory for the door, and move all files included in this
- ZIP file into that directory.
-
- 2) Make or edit the configuration file. Call it whatever you want,
- but whatever you name it, has to be the first parameter on the
- command line for SendNote to run. For multiple nodes,
- create one config file for each node. Call them something
- like SNOTE1.CFG, SNOTE2.CFG or something like that. This is a simple
- EIGHT line ascii file that contains the following:
-
- Line 1 - DOOR Data File type (can be: PCB,SF or GAP).
- (PCB=PCBoard,SF=SpitFire,GAP=DOOR.SYS)
-
- Line 2 - Path to the above door data file
-
- Line 3 - Your BBS's Name
-
- Line 4 - Sysops first and last name
-
- Line 5 - Locked baud rate (0 if not locked!)
-
- Line 6 - Path to node 1's main directory
-
- Line 7 - Registration Code (0 if unregistered)
-
- Line 8 - Minimum security level to be able to send
- multi-mail.
-
- Make sure there are NO leading or trailing spaces!!
-
- 3) Next, go add a line similiar to the following in your DOORS.MNU:
-
- D,SendNote,sendnote,10
-
- Make sure that that first letter corresponds with the door data
- type that you told SENDNOTE that you were going to use. (P,D or S).
-
- 4) Now you will have to make the 'batch' file to run the door. Here is what
- mine looks like:
-
- cd\TriBBS\doors\sendnote
- sendnote sendnote.cfg
- cd\TriBBS
- board.bat
-
- Make sure this is in your node's main TriBBS directory, and make
- sure that you use the correct filename for the configuration file
- when you run SendNote.
-
-
- SPECIAL KEYS
- ------------
-
- While a door is running, the sysop can press certain special keys
- to perform a variety of functions. The following is a list of
- the functions that the SendNote special keys perform:
-
- Key(s) Function
-
- HOME Toggles between the user status window and a
- help display that lists the RMDoor special
- keys.
-
- F6 Takes 5 minutes away from the caller.
-
- F7 Gives 5 minutes to the caller.
-
- F9 Quit the door and return the caller to the
- BBS.
-
- F10 Enter chat mode. Pressing the ESC key exits
- the chat mode.
-
- Alt+D Drop to DOS.

- Disclaimer
- ----------
-
- This product is provided AS IS. No warrenties, guarantees PERIOD! I cannot
- and WILL NOT be responsible for anything this does or does not do.
-
-
- Shareware
- ---------
- Please note that this is NOT crippleware. ALL features of the door can
- be used without registering it. But, for my time and energy, I would really
- appreciate the registration. Read on for an incentive:
-
- This product is SHAREWARE. Please help support shareware by
- registering this door. By registering, you will get your own
- registration number that will rid you of the [UNREGISTERED SHAREWARE]
- notice, and will in place say "Registered to: [Your BBS's name here]".
- The code will work with this, and all future versions of Sendnote.
- This code will be mailed to you, in a letter.
- To order, print and fill out REGFORM.TXT and mail
- it to me along with a check payable in the amount of $15 (United
- States Currency) plus whatever other charges might be found
- in REGFORM.TXT, to the address at the bottom of the form.
-
-
- Yes, the price for SendNote HAS gone up...This was due to three reasons
- really: 1) It's Multi-node capable, 2) I've put a LOT of time into
- this, and all of my doors and 3) I'm always broke <GRIN>. I think
- you'll agree, that SendNote is worth the registration.
-
- ---------------------------------------------------------------
- PLEASE make sure that your BBS's name in REGFORM.TXT is EXACTLY
- how it is in your configuration file!!!!!!!
- ---------------------------------------------------------------
-
- Registrations will NOT be done via my BBS--only thru U.S. Mail.
- Support IS available on my BBS though, if any problems should arise.
-
- I can also be reached on FidoNET at: 1:326/301
