NUMSTER
Version 1.00
WE USE A KEYED SYSTEM FOR OUR DOORS. IF YOU'VE DOWNLOADED THIS DOOR
OFF A NON-SUPPORT BBS YOU MAY FIND THAT THE KEY HAS EXPIRED. YOU ARE
MORE THEN WELCOME TO CALL THE BBS AND OBTAIN A NEW DEMO KEY OR YOU CAN
FILE REQUEST IT FROM 1:296/4 AS NU.KEY.........
IF THIS IRRITATES YOU THEN PLEASE DELETE THIS FILE. IT IS OUR CHOICE
TO USE A KEYED SYSTEM. IT AMAZES ME THAT SYSOPS WHO WOULD BE HIGHLY
OFFENDED IF A BBS MEMBER TRIED TO TELL THEM HOW TO RUN THEIR SYSTEM
HAVE THE BAD TASTE TO TRY TO TELL US HOW TO RUN OUR BUSINESS.

RIP:
Numster will check to see if the caller has RIP, if not it will then
run the ansi screens. Numster will not support ascii or non-color.
=============================================================================
This door is compatible with the following bbs systems:
Quickbbs, Remote Access, Rbbs, Superbbs, Telegard, Wildcat 3 & 4, Force!,
PcBoard(Latest), Gap, Spitfire, WWIV, and Osiris.
=============================================================================
Single-Line:
1. Create a directory for Numster and put all the Numster files in
that directory.
2. Create a configuration file and place it in your Numster directory.
The configuration file should be named Nu1.cfg. Below will be a
Sample:
Line #1 C:\wc30\wcwork\node1\door.sys (Path to your door.sys)
Line #2 Thomas Pruitt (Sysop Name OR THE NAME YOUR KEY IS REGISTERED TO)
Line #3 Y (Do you use a fossil? Y or N)
Line #4 N (Are you using Novell? Y or N)
Line #5 N (Are you running Multi-Lines with Share loaded? Y or N)
Line #6 0 (Are you using standard/default IRQ's for this node? If so, put a)
(0 on this line. If not, put the IRQ number that you are using.)
3. Create a door(?).run or door(?).bat.
I'm running it on my system as door5.run so here is a copy of my door run
file.
cd\wc30\Num (path to the Numster directory)
Nu 1 (the executable plus the node number.)
******************************************************************************
Multi-Line:
1. Create a directory for Numster and place all your Numster files in
that directory.
2. Create a seperate configuration files for EACH node and place them in the
Numster directory. A node one config file would be named Nu1.cfg, a
node two config file would be named Nu2.cfg and so on. These all go in
your Numster directory. Samples below.
Nu1.cfg:
Line #1 C:\wc30\wcwork\NODE1\door.sys (path to your door.sys)
Line #2 Thomas Pruitt (Sysop name, OR THE NAME YOUR KEY IS REGISTERED TO.)
Line #3 Y (Do you use a Fossil? Y or N)
Line #4 N (Are you using Novell? Y or N)
Line #5 N (Are you running multi-nodes with share laoded? Y or N)
Line #6 0 (Are you using standard/default irq's? If so, put a 0 on this)
(line. If not, put the irq number you are using for this node.)
Nu2.cfg:
Line #1 C:\wc30\wcwork\NODE 2\door.sys (note the NODE 2)
Line #2 Thomas Pruitt
Line #3 Y
Line #4 N
Line #5 N
Line #6 0
3. Create door.run or door.bat files. Let's say you're running two nodes and
We'll assume the the door.run file is door5.run and we have Numster in
a directory off wc30 named Num.
Door5.run for node1:
cd\wc30\Num (path to the Numster directory)
Nu 1 (the executable and the NODE number)
Door5.run for node2:
cd\wc30\Numster (path to the Numster directory)
Nu 2 (the executable and the NODE number)
My special thanks to Walter cade in Longview Texas who is sysop of ARTI BBS.
Walter is running a ten line system using Novell and most of our doors are
wworking fine at that location.
Problems:
We've found that the most common mistakes sysops make when setting the game
up is that they leave trailing empty spaces after some of the fields in the
config and door.run files.

As a general rule, I am totally against "crippleware" so the only other
alternative is a key. I also realize that most keys can be broken so
in the end it's really up to the sysop and the door. We've tried to keep
the cost down because we know that running a bbs is expensive.
So, what does it cost to register Numster you ask?
How does $5.00 sound?
Hope it sounds OK cause that's the registration fee. If you like the program
then send us $5.00 and you'll get a key and future updates will be free.
We also except credit cards. Please see reg.txt for details.
or,
Fill Out the registration form (REG.TXT), Print it
out, put a check (or money order) for at least $5.00 and the form
in an envelope and pop it in the mail.
As soon as we receive your check (or money order) we will create
a key for you and attach it to a message. Or, contact us netmail
at Fidonet 1:296/4 and we'll put it on hold for you.
