This Is the complete BIBLE, OLD and NEW Testaments Both. The Basics behind
This DOOR is simple. You go into the DOOR, and You pick out Any Book Of The
Old Or New Testament, And It Calls Up Your choice, And You read it. Simple
Operation.. Just the way we like it <GRIN>. There Is Also A WORD SCRAMBLE
GAME DEMO. I Have included this file in order to let you get the feel of it.
I have a Full Working Stand Alone DOOR GAME For WORD SCRAMBLE Coming out Within
1 Month. It will include Over 150 BIBLE Words That Will Come up In RANDOM order.
So No Two Games Will ever be the same. Should Be A Great DOOR.
NOTE:
-=-=-
IN ANSI MODE. If your Users Are using A communication program that comes with
DOORWAY Mode, Then They can turn it on inside the DOOR, and It will let them
Access ARROW Keys To HILIGHT The choice, and then simply hitting enter on the
Hilighted choice will take them to the proper area.
This door does not expire! And Comes COMPLETE WITH ALL BOOKS OF THE BIBLE.
Some Other Authors Who Make BIBLE DOORS Feel You Should REGISTER To Get ALL THE
BOOKS. But that Can Be A Hassle And Your Users Get tired of reading 2 Or 3 BOOKS
only, Over and Over Again.. So I threw Them All In, In hopes you would enjoy it,
and your Users would enjoy it so much that you would register your Shareware.

Example Batch File
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
A sample batch file similar to the following:
ECHO OFF
CD\DOORS\BIBLE <=- 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.)
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:
BIBLEP 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.
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
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
OLBIBLE 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:
BIBLE BIBLE.CFG /FD
indicates that a Fossil driver is present and should be used. If no Fossil
driver is detected, OLBIBLE will print a message to that effect and exit
the door gracefully.

and/or written to DOOR.SYS and USERS.SYS
