HURK3.EXE........ Hurricane Tracker Door Program
DOOR.CFG......... A SAMPLE Door.Cfg file (edit to your needs)
DORINFO1.DEF..... A SAMPLE dorinfo1.def file
STORM.BAT........ A SAMPLE batch file for calling up HURK.exe
*.ANS............ Display files - MUST BE IN SAME DIRECTORY AS HURK3
MENU.HRK......... Sample Previous Hurricane Track MENU
*.HRK............ Tracks of Previous Hurricanes
SYSOP.CFG........ Sample Sysop Storm Configuration File
HOW TO USE STORMTRACKER :
-------------------------
1. To run Hurk3.exe locally, use this on your command line:
HURK3 LOCAL
2. ALWAYS include the name of your .cfg file when calling up Hurk3 as an
online door:
HURK3 DOOR.CFG
3. For non standard IRQs, you can use this for an example:
HURK3 DOOR.CFG /5
* PLEASE don't write and ask what IRQs to use on your non-standard systems.
I've run comport 1 for 5 years and I have no idea in the world what your IRQs
or system setup might be. That's -your- responsibility to know the setup of
your system. Thanks.
4. It is highly recommended you use the internal communications routines but
if you must you can call hurk3 with a fossil driver. For Example:
HURK3 DOOR.CFG /FD
Notice to use the fossil driver you put a /FD on the command line.
* On some systems I had reports you can't use the sysop function keys when a
user is online and you use a fossil.
* PLEASE NOTE: -Only- use the /FD command if the door's internal
communications routines don't work on your system. The door utilizes it's
own communications routines which are more reliable then the fossil driver
selection available with the door. Remember- even if your mailer and / or BBS
requires a fossil to run, this door doesn't require a fossil.
ABOUT YOUR CONFIG FILE
----------------------
Your config file is ascii file that has on the first line the
path to your BBS drop file AND the name of your BBS drop file.
On the second line is the name of your BBS. On the third line
is your First name and on your Fourth line is your last name.
(WHEN REGISTERING, THE MUST BE EXACTLY LIKE YOU REGISTERED THE
PROGRAM)
Example .cfg file:
c:\quickbbs\dorinfo1.def
The Frontier BBS
Jerry
Woody
DOOR.CFG =MUST= reside in the same directory as HURK3.EXE!
HURK3 MUST BE RUN FROM IT'S OWN DIRECTORY; NOT THROUGH A PATH STATEMENT,
ETC.
ABOUT RUNNING THE DOOR
----------------------
HURK3 can be run from your bbs with either a shell or drop to dos,
if your memory is large enough. For example, to run it as a type 7
shell to dos for quickbbs the command line would be:
command.com /c STORM.bat or
command.com *C STORM.bat
PLEASE SEE THE ENCLOSED STORM.BAT FOR EXAMPLE.
PLEASE NOTE. THIS IS NOT FREEWARE BUT SHAREWARE. IF YOU
USE IT THEN -PAY- FOR IT. If you don't you might save a few
bucks now but in a few years when the shareware system doesn't work
and most of the door authors have gone commercial you'll be
wishing you'd registered your shareware material. 'Nuff said.
ABOUT SYSOP STORM CONFIGURATION FILE:
=====================================
The file sysop.cfg is a plain ascii file that allows the sysop to put in
his/her longitude and latitude and a current storms' longitude and latitude.
IF YOU DON'T WON'T THIS FEATURE DO NOT CREATE A SYSOP.CFG FILE. IF THE SYSOP
CONFIG FILE IS NOT FOUND THE DOOR WILL SAY "CONFIGURATION FILE NOT FOUND" AND
GO BACK TO THE MAIN MENU. =DON'T= GET YOUR DOOR.CFG AND SYSOP.CFG FILES MIXED
UP!
SYSOP.CFG:
SYSOP LONGITUDE
SYSOP LATITUDE
STORM LONGITUDE
STORM LATITUDE
A sample sysop.cfg file is included with this archive.
IMPORTANT: SYSOP.CFG MUST ONLY BE 4 LINES LONG - NO MORE, NO LESS.
ABOUT *.HRK FILES AND PREVIOUS STORMS CONFIGURATION:
====================================================
(If you've not registered StormCaster you can skip this section as this
part of Stormcaster will not work on unregistered copies.)
New with version 3.0.0 of StormTracker is a module that will display previous
storm tracks of Hurricanes. There are 4 history files included in the
HURK3.ZIP archive. They are:
CAMILLE.HRK
FREDERIC.HRK
DIANE.HRK
ALLEN.HRK
Notice also in this archive is a file called MENU.HRK. You can edit and add
to this file as you make your own previous hurricane history files.
The previous hurricane data files consist of a plain ascii file in the
following format:
TITLE
Hurricane LONGITUDE
Hurricane LATITUDE
" LONGITUDE
" LATITUDE
You can have as many co-ordinates as you want but I'd suggest 10-15 Long/Lat
points. Take a look at the enclosed *.hrk files and you'll see how easy it is
to create your own previous storms.
Don't Forget to update your Menu.HRK file when you add new previous storms!
Where can I find the latest version of STORMTRACKER?
=====================================================
The latest version of STORMTRACKER is available by requesting
STORM from my system. FidoNet 1:3607/20.
I always have a "FILES" listing waiting for you as well! Just FREQ FILES.
