HELP FILE FOR THOSE OF YOU HAVING PROBLEMS..
MIGHT HELP, AND MIGHT NOT.
Keyboard Timeouts
=================
* If you are operating on a 486 computer and getting a "keyboard
timeout", you will need to set the following environmental variable
in your AUTOEXEC.BAT.
NO87=ON
This will turn off your co-processor and allow the door to function
properly
Overflow Errors
===============
* Overflows can occur if you are running under DESQview and your tick
counts are set too low -- try raising the tick counts.
* If you're running Wildcat! v3.9+ and are getting OVERFLOW errors,
make sure NONE of your security level definitions have the MAXIMUM
DAILY DOWNLOADS set to more than 32,000 -- anything over that will
cause an OVERFLOW ERROR in ANY door using DOORFRAME.
Garbled Information on Remote
=============================
* If the door seems to operate fine on the BBS end but the remote
cannot receive or receives garbled information, check and make sure
you are passing the correct IRQ to the door (if you are running a
non standard IRQ).
Graphic Cards (general)
=======================
* ATI Graphics Ultra Pro card - do not use the ANSI.SYS driver that
came with the card. Use the normal DOS ANSI.SYS for the screens
to show correctly.
* Trident SVGA Cards - You should have a utility disk with a file
called TANSI.SYS, use this ansi driver instead of the standard
ANSI.SYS.
DESQview/X
==========
* Make sure you have the MATH COPROCESSOR flagged ON even if you don't
have a math coprocessor.
Lockups on certain COM PORTS
============================
* If you're running on a non-standard IRQ, be sure you are passing the
IRQ on the command line!! Example: BIBLE BIBLE.CFG /5
BIBLE will now run on IRQ 5.
Spitfire BBS's
==============
* If you're having trouble with the doors dropping carrier on exiting
back to the BBS, switch to using DOOR.SYS instead of SFDOORS.DAT.
On some Spitfire configurations this will happen when using
SFDOORS.DAT.
Using DESQview
==============
* If you're running the doors under DV and you're getting ANSI
character codes on the local monitor, be sure to load the file
DVANSI.COM in the main batch file that starts your BBS!
ERROR Codes (general)
=====================
* ERROR #53 - This error means a file was not found. If this occurs
right when the door is opened, please check the PATH to the caller
drop file (i.e. DOOR.SYS), or make sure the caller drop file is
being created properly!
QuickBasic Error codes
DoorFrame uses the QB error codes.

By the CFG file not having enough lines.
Error #75 is usually an incorrect path and/or filename in the CFG
file.
