BUEARATIC FERTILIZER MODE DEACTIVATED:
Ok, now that the legal junks over with, lets get to the installation:
First:
Make a directory to put the dlrip program & dlsetup program in
Second:
Unzip the package to that directory
Third:
Make a subdirectory named HELP under the current directory that you
are running this program from and copy all files with the *.HLP
extension to this directory. Optionaly, if you have a directory for
your help files; you may set a DOS Environment Variable to point to
that directory. For example I use C:\PROGRAMS\HELP for all my help
files. So in my AUTOEXEC.BAT I put this line in my AUTOEXEC.BAT:
SET HELP=C:\PROGRAMS\HELP
DLSETUP Expects to find it's help files in this directory.
By the way, Make sure to copy ALL *.HLP files to that directory!
Fourth:
Now if you edited your AUTOEXEC.BAT to point to your help directory
you will need to reboot your system so the new setting can take effect.
Fifth:
Change to your dlrip directory
run DLSETUP supplying START as a parameter.
EXAMPLE:
DLSETUP START
During the Setup Process you can press F1 for help at most input prompts;
if the help is NOT available make sure you have either set the HELP
variable to point to the directory where the .HLP files are kept or have
made a directory called HELP underneath the directory you are running
the program from. In any case, make sure you move or copy the *.HLP
files to that directory!
Simply highlight the choices you want and press return, at the main menu
Escape will exit back to DOS.
Pressing Enter saves the data, pressing the UP ARROW key will take you
to the previous field, down arrow will take you to the next field, your
changes are erased (Only the one you switched to). This makes it an
easy way to start over or repeat an entry without starting the whole
process over again.
At the end you will be given a choice to save or abort your data, the
program will then write your config file DLRIP.CFG and it's control
files.
Sixth:
Now create a login.bat or logon event which loads the program, consult
your BBS user guide on how to do this.
Sample:
echo off
c:
cd\wc30\ripdl
dlrip dlrip.cfg
cd\wc30
seventh:
put GSZ.EXE in your path and your ready to go.
Thats it, your ready to go....
NOTES:
This program keeps track of the file dates and should you change the date
on your full rip file, update rip file, or forced file, it will
reinitilize making everyone have to dl the forced file again.
After reinitialzing, if you want to exempt someone, simply put their
name in the FORCE.TXT file. This will allow them to exit by hitting
enter at the menu.
NORMALY a user can NOT exit until after they have downloaded the
forced file. From then on, until you change anything they can exit
by hitting enter.
BONOUS FOR READING DOCS!
To disable the FORCED FILE FEATURE, when asked in DLSETUP for the path
to the file you wish to force users to download enter the word NONE and
then anyone can exit by pressing enter.
Last Minute notes:
If a user downloads a FULL RIP package, the door will not execute for
that user again until you change the date on one of your files.
