- WHAT IS HORODOOR?
-
- Horodoor brings to BBSs what you have often seen in your daily
- newspaper, a daily horoscope.
- Jackie Allen's Horoscope will determine and display your
- Zodiac sign and give a little free advice. Rest assured that although
- it may sometimes seem uncanny (especially to new users) Jackie Allen's
- Horoscope is every bit as (un)scientific as your daily newspaper
- horoscope. (ask a professional astrologer about those newspaper
- horoscopes!).
- For ANSI users, Jackie will show colors. Jackie's vocabulary
- is a little limited in this shareware version but it greatly expanded
- in the registered version. Jackie will display a special message if it
- is the user's birthday.
-
- HOW DO I INSTALL IT????????
-
- Boy is this one simple! Just put Horo.com in any directory you please
- (your main BBS directory is as good as any) and execute it with this
- command:
- horo
-
- There *MUST* be a file in this directory called DOOR.SYS.
- That's all there is to it! No door driver, no maintenace,
- no carrier guard, no fossile driver, no command line paramaters!
- Horo.com gets all the necessary information about baudrate, comports,
- birthdate, graphics, etc. from the DOOR.sys file.
- Most BBSs either produce door.sys automatically or can
- produce it by using a converter. If this is not the case with your
- BBS then you should seriously consider getting some decent software!
- There are two different versions of door.sys floating around.
- There is a long version of door.sys as well as a short version.
- Horodoor was designed around the short version. Since it only looks
- at a few lines and ignores the rest of the file, the long version
- should also be compatible.
- Horodoor uses BIOS comm routines, these are the slowest and
- safest comm routines. If your system has trouble with these routines
- then the inability to use Horodoor will be the least of your
- problems! Horodoor run in 8 bit No parity 1 stopbit (8N1). This has
- been the standard for modem communications for well over 5 years. If
- this conflicts with the way your system is set up then not many
- people will be calling you anyway.
-
- WHAT IT YET TO BE????????
-
- This is the first public release of HORODOOR. Many improvements are
- planned for the future and/or included in the registered version:
-
- 1. Larger vocabulary
- 2. Color on the local side
- 3. Detailed analysis of current astrological conditions.
- 4. Ability to show horoscopes for other signs (besides
- yours)
- 5. Graphic opening screens
- 6. Other things I can't think of right now. :)
