- This is the CTDL-handler. This version also comes with a new program
- called Reciever. Reciever is a door monitor program that will allow
- you to capture the output of the current door session or just display
- it in a window.
-
- CTDL-Handler:
-
- To install, just copy this into the L: directory. You will have to
- reboot for it to take effect. With 2.1 or higher OS you can remove
- the previous handler with "assign ctdl-aux: dismount", and then
- a mount command to re-mount it.
-
- CLI base programs can be run as doors by re-directing the output
- and input to ctdl-aux:
-
- Door >ctdl-aux: <ctdl-aux:
-
- is a simple example.

-
- Reciever
-
- This program will not do any special formating of the door I/O. It
- will just output it to the current window. This program has several
- options:
-
- Control-F - Toggle the file save option on/off. The program will
- display a status message. The filename is "save.aux".
- Control-D - Toggle the debug mode. This is mostly for my use and
- generates alot of messages in addition to the regular
- door output.
- Control-E - Exit, The port is closed, and so is the save file if
- Opened. This will only occur when the port is empty
- of messages.
-
- I recommend that you run RECIEVER with a higher priority than the
- door program since that will keep it running at the maximum possible
- speed. If you do not, the messages from the handler, may back up
- enough on your system that you could run out of memory. The aux handler
- will queue up messages until you run out of memory and then throw
- them away until it can allocate buffers. This would mean some of your
- information would be lost. If at a higher priority, RECIEVER can
- keep up with no problem.
-
- I recommend that you use this handler and if a problem occurs, try to
- use it to capture the result to a file. This will allow the door problem
- to be debugged alot easier.
