-
- Example Batch File
- ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
- A sample batch file is included and is similer to the following:
- ECHO OFF
- CD\DOORS\ONLINE <=- Switch to the door's Directory.
- BIBLE BIBLE.CFG <=- Execute the door program and pass the
- configuration filename to the program.
- CD\PCB <=- Go back to PCB DIR when user exits door.
- BOARD <=- Restart BBS.
-
-
- 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.)
-
- Normally, when running multinode, just setup different BIBLE.CFG files
- for each node: BIBLE1.CFG BIBLE2.CFG etc....
-
-
- 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:
-
- BIBLE BIBLE.CFG /5
- or using the PCBDRIVE procedure: SET IRQ=5 and use
- BIBLE BIBLE.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.
-
-
- Sysop Keys
- ^^^^^^^^^^
- F3 - Toggles the printer On/Off. Value is passed to PCBoard and/or
- written to DOOR.SYS and USERS.SYS
- F4 - Toggles the Page Bell on/off. Value is passed to PCBoard
- and/or written to DOOR.SYS and USERS.SYS
- F5 - DOS Shell. Allows SysOp to exit to DOS from inside a DOOR.
- F7 - Toggles the Caller Alarm On/Off. Value is passed to PCBoard
- and/or written to DOOR.SYS and USERS.SYS
- F8 - Returns the caller involuntarily to the BBS.
- F9 - Toggles the local display On/Off. Value is passed to PCBoard
- and/or written to DOOR.SYS and USERS.SYS
- F10 - Activates SysOp CHAT mode within the DOOR.
- ESC - Deactivates CHAT mode. DOOR is resumed.
- UP - Give the caller extra time while in the DOOR.
- DN - Subtract time from the caller while in the DOOR.
- HOME - HELP key for Status Line options.
- ALT-N - SysOp next on toggle. Value passed to PCBoard. (PCBoard only)
- ALT-X - PCBoard will exit after current caller logs off. Value is
- passed to PCBoard. Not available on non-PCBoard systems.
