After that, delete DCTLIST.CFG and run CONFIG.EXE to re-configure DCTList (there were too many changes made to make an upgrade program for the configuration file). Installation is very fast and easy. First of all you must create a directory for DCTList to reside in and then run CONFIG.EXE to configure it to your system. You may also wish to edit DCTLIST.FLT if you will be using the profanity filter. DCTList does not have to be run from the directory it resides in, as it automatically looks for all of its files in the directory its home directory. Have your BBS call DCTList via a command-line similar to "C:\DOORS\DCTLIST\DCTLIST.EXE /PC:\BBS". The "/P" parameter is only required if the drop file will not be in the current directory when DCTList is run. If your BBS supports memory- swapping, it would be a good idea to do so (if you don't, there may not ° be enough memory to shell out to the external transfer protocols). ± ² Ū ÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜ ÜÜ ÜÜÜÜÜÜ Ü Ü ÜÜÜÜÜÜ ÜÜ ÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜ Ü ² Ch.3 ± Distribution & Disclaimer ° ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ DCTList is copyrighted (C) 1996 by Dan Traczynski.

I plan to have these options completed in the next version. Most of the features that I add to this door are requests made by SysOps, so if you would like to see a new feature added to this door, by all means send me e-mail and I will try to add in your request. I can be reached at dan.traczynski@als.dudd.uniserve.com. The user logging feature will be completed in the next version as well as the BBS database editor in CONFIG.EXE (for now you will have ° to edit the BBS from the door). ± ² Ū ÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜ ÜÜ ÜÜÜÜÜÜ Ü Ü ÜÜÜÜÜÜ ÜÜ ÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜ Ü ² Ch.5 ± History ° ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ v0.02į - May 22, 1996. -Fixed a bug in IMPORT.EXE if a DCTList.Dat already existed (it would exit with a runtime error because of a stupid typo I made). -Added the full-screen chat mode. -If a user was entering the message nets that the BBS was part of and hit ESC, the "Enter nets this BBS is part of" prompt wasn't being removed before the "Abort?
