Door Source Door Installer for your doors
Written by Todd Miller - Copyrighted 1991
Introduction
------------
Door Installer will let you write a simple script file of questions to ask the
user, and the responses will be stored in the configuration file. So if you're
going to have a long configuration file, you can add in the extra lines in
the script file for this program, include it with your door, and then the
other sysops can run this and easily install your door. It will always ask
the sysop for the output configuration file's name, and the standard first
four questions (BBS interface file, BBS Name, Sysop's first name, Sysop's
last name) and then your questions.
The script file
---------------
The script file is VERY simple, all you do is put the number of extra
questions you want to ask the user on the very first line of the file, and
then just type the questions. The questions shouldn't be longer than 40
characters or they'll overrun the window on the screen. An example of a
script file would be:
5
How many turns per day?
How many plays per day?
Name of high scores bulletin
Name of log file
Sysop's editor password
This file specifies that it has five questions to ask on the first line, then
the five questions to ask come directly after that. Specifing a 0 for the
number of questions will cause Door Installer to only ask the standard first
four questions and skip the script file.
How to run Door Installer
-------------------------
To run Door Installer, simply type DOORINST followed by the name of the
script file for the door to be installed, for example:
DOORINST MYDOOR.SET
This would load the MYDOOR script file and ask the questions for the
configuration file.
