- 3.1.1 RA installation - Modify the bat-files NOTEBOX.BAT and NBVIEW.BAT
- so that they will suit your needs, then:
-
- Install the door as a menutype 7 like this
- *C /C C:\RA\NOTEBOX\NOTEBOX.BAT *M
-
- and to view to view the message
- *C /C C:\RA\NOTEBOX\NBVIEW.BAT *M
-
-
- 3.2 Parameters
-
- "/Bxxxxx" This tells NOTEBOX.EXE to lock its baud rate at
- xxxxx. In order to get the most efficiency out of a high speed
- error correcting modem (9600 baud or above), you may lock the baud
- rate to a speed higher than what the caller is actually using.
- By locking the baud to say 38,400, the modem can compress text data
- that is being sent and achieve a baud rate much higher than the
- actual transmission rate.
- This will lock the baud rate at the same value for all nodes that
- use this command line. If you perfer a more selective way to lock
- baud use 'LOCKBAUD' command in the GAME.CTL file.
-
- "/Cx" (where x is 1..4) This specifies a comport number.
- Some bbs software does not create door information files (dropfiles)
- that contain the comport number. If your bbs does have a comport
- listed in the dropfile then there is no need for this parameter.
- The default is comport 0, local mode.
-
- "/E" - Expanded Memory Specification If your machine has over one
- megabyte of memory, then you may have some available. NOTEBOX.EXE can
- utilize EMS to improve game performance and reduce conventional
- memory requirements.
- This command will tell NOTEBOX.EXE to use EMS memory to hold its
- overlay buffer. Otherwise disc area may be used to hold this buffer.
- This needs a memory manager and when enabled and is compatible with
- DESQview. Default is NOT to use available EMS.
-
- "/L" This tells NOTEBOX.EXE to load up in LOCAL mode.
- This is good for testing or when a sysop just wants to "try out" the
- door without messing with his BBS setup. The "/L" mode will ask the
- user for his name and run the door in local mode.
-
- "/Nx" (where x is 1..9) This specifies a "node number".
- Some bbs software support multinode environments in which you must
- know the node number of the drop file to use. For example, RBBS-PC
- uses DORINFOx.DEF. If you specified "/N2" then NOTEBOX.EXE would use
- DORINFO2.DEF.
-
- "/Mx" (where x is up to 2 filename acceptable characters)
- Used to specify one of Multiple control files. If you have created
- more than one ZETUP.CTL file (ZETUP1.CTL, ZETUP2.CTL, etc.) for each
- node or network PC then you can select the one you want by using
- the /M parm.
- Example: "/M2" will force NOTEBOX.EXE to use GAME2.ctl.
-
- "/Pyyy" This specifies the path to the drop files.
- For example, "/PC:\RA\NODE1" would tell NOTEBOX.EXE to look for the
- drop file in C:\RA\NODE1. If this is left out the program assumes
- the drop file is local.
-
- "/V" This command will tell NOTEBOX.EXE not to show any display
- on the local screen. Only a colored screen and a message will be
- displayed. The cursor will not move as it will be turned off.
- Saves a little processing on multi-tasking systems.
-
- "/W" This flags the program that a network is present even
- though no multitaskers are detected. This is useful if the door is
- run on a network such as Novell that doesn't use multitaskers.
-
- "/D" This command tells NOTEBOX.EXE to display the message in
- the file text.txt that the NoTEBoX created when a user entered a
- message.
-
-
- 3.3 Philes - There are several samples of enterprompts and view-files
- they are located in the file samples.zip and have names
- like Enter1.ans Enter2.ans and so on. If you want to use
- them you have to extract them from samples.zip and rename
- enter1.ans to enter.ans and view1.ans to view.ans and so on.
