DINFOAVT is a program to convert your DORINFO1.DEF file for compatibility with
BBS Door programs not supporting the RemoteAccess 1.xx DORINFO1.DEF structure.
DINFOAVT 1.00 (November 1990)
─────────────
originally written in November 1990 with the advent of RemoteAccess 1.00/b-5.
RA 1.00/beta-5 was the initial version with AVATAR support. DINFOAVT 1.00
was initially distributed to the RA_BETA team for I discovered some doors
didn't like the new AVATAR codes in DORINFO1.DEF.
DINFOAVT 2.00 (February 1991)
─────────────
* now converts code 2 (AVATAR only) to 0 (ASCII/TTY) for full compatibility.
* added /IO switch for Doors not updating DORINFO1.DEF when done.
* made the displays a little 'smarter' since I know what the contents are.
DINFOAVT 3.00 (April 1991)
─────────────
* added /d command to display contents of the DORINFO1.DEF file.
* display compatibility of DORINFO1.DEF File (RA 0.04/RA 1.00).
* updated program and documentation with my NEW node number, 1:2270/233.
DINFOAVT 4 (January 1993)
──────────
* added /r command to add -R to DORINFO1.DEF for reliable connections
(error-free) which some DOORS now support.
* added DV-WIN-OS/2 detection and DV non-direct screen write support.
the DINFOAVT program comes in 2 flavors. The Dinfoavt.Exe is a 386 protect
mode version, and the Dinfoavt.Xt is the 808X version for < 386 machines.
If you are going to use the XT version, just delete the Dinfoavt.Exe file
and rename the Dinfoavt.Xt file to Dinfoavt.Exe.
the latest version can always be obtained by using the magicname DINFOAVT when
using File Requests with your Mailer if you are a FIDONET node from the
following systems:
The Gateway Net BBS - 1:2270/233.0@fidonet - HST/V32b
The Boomtown BBS - 1:2270/868.0@fidonet - HST 16.8/V32b
DINFAVT4.ZIP should also be available at an SDS node near you under SDSRA.
before you ask, YES - it will be updated to support RemoteAccess 1.20. :-)
please read Dinfoavt.Doc for the additional details of my program.
thanks ...
