~~~~~~~~~~
This program is guaranteed to take up some of your precious disk space.
The author Dean Craft is in no way liable for what occurs because you
feel to need to run it. The person operating the program is totally
responsible for all consequences of running this program. You break it
you own it!
Files
~~~~~
DLFILE.EXE - The Main EXEcutable used to run the door
DLFILE.DOC - You are reading it.
DLFILE.CFG - Sample configuration file. (Edit to suit your system)
DLFILE.BAT - Sample batch file to run the door.
DLFILE.MEN - Sample Text file for info For Users
DLFILE.LOG - A NONself cleaning log file that says who downloaded what file.
Why did I write it?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Because:
1. A Fellow sysop asked for a way for TAG to have someone hit a Menu
Command and then allow for them to download either via
Xmodem/Ymodem/Zmodem.
2. It Sounded Feasible.
3. It sounded like a little thingy that a few others were looking for.
Features
~~~~~~~~
- Allows people to Download 1 text file from any menu.
- YOU MUST HAVE DSZ.COM IN YOUR PATH FOR THIS TO WORK!!!!
Structure of DLFILE.CFG:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Line 1 : dlfile.doc <-- Filename to send user
Line 2 : c:\text\ <-- path to file (no forget '\')
NOTE: If you mess up this setup the door will crash guaranteed! :)
Quick setup
~~~~~~~~~~~
1. Put files in a directory.
2. Edit DLFILE.CFG <- if it's wrong the program may crash
3. Edit DLFILE.BAT <- if it's wrong the program may crash
the main line is the
DLFILE.EXE door.sys
And a sample.bat file would look like so....
cd\bbs\dlfile
copy c:\bbs\door.sys (or dorinfo#.def)
dlfile.exe door.sys (or Dorinfo#.def)
cd\bbs
This door supports the door.sys and the dorinfo#.def. i am not sure if
it supports the newest structure of the door.sys cuz there are 3 types
of the door.sys setup last i knew. :)
4. Put DLFILE.BAT in your Main BBS directory.
5. If you want to tell your users what they are downloading then edit the
DLFILE.MEN file to say such. if no saying is wanted then just delete this
file.
DESQView COMPATIBILITY
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Is IT??? i dunno. check it out.
Other stuff
~~~~~~~~~~~
That's about it. If you run into any problems with it just let me know
and I'll fix it.
I'm asking nothing for this door. Is that going to break anyone? It should
be a very useful door on your board to let people download adult access
requests or registration info instead of trying to have newbies go to the
file area and then download this file and pulling your hair out wondering
"why are they so dumb??" ;)
You should know almost instantly whether or not this program is useful for
you. If you use it and have any comments then drop me a line for
improvements or such. but remember i made it for ease of use and such.
Simple enough?
