The Owl's Nest, 2:512/39
------------------------
This archive contains 2 batch files that can be used as an example to run
FrontDoor in front of the PCBoard BBS software.
RUNFD.BAT Main FrontDoor batchfile
EXEBBS.BAT The file used by DOBBS0.BAT that will run PCBoard with the
correct parameters for baudrate and error correction.
Important notes!
----------------
Make sure you have the "EXIT TO DOS AFTER EACH CALL" option in PCBSetup set
to YES.
If you have doors that EXIT to DOS (and are not using a shell), then DON'T
put the "BOARD" of "RUNFD" at the end of the batchfile for firing up
FrontDoor again. Place the name of the DOBBS0.BAT file on that line. This
will make sure that PCBoard is correctly started up again after completing
the door.
You won't like the consequences of not doing this, because if for instance
the name RUNFD is used to start PCBoard after completing the door, the user
will not be placed back into your BBS again. Instead, FrontDoor is started
again while the caller is being disconnected. If the next caller comes into
the system after that, PCBoard will assume that this was the previous caller
who is just returning from the door, resulting in a situation where the new
caller will have access under the name and privileges of the previous caller!
FrontDoor is my favorite mailer. PCBoard is my favorite BBS software. Only
a shame that Joaquim did not write any echomail software yet for PCBoard.
Please send him an interesting postcard about this (for instance with a nice
photo of a female on front of it) Then he can't ignore it anymore :)
