- USBBSDoor is a door which provides FAST on-line search features to
- the Darwin National USBBS List. Callers may search by Area Code,
- State, Text, Modem type, BBS type and New listings. USBBSDoor works
- with many types of BBS software, including PCBoard, Wildcat!, GAP,
- RBBS, Spitfire, RA, and types which use compatible door files.
-
- QUICK.DOC is not intended as a replacement for USBBSDOR.DOC. It
- allows you to QUICKLY install USBBSDoor and see its powerful, high
- quality features. You may then decide to permanently install
- USBBSDoor using the detailed information contained in USBBSDOR.DOC.
-
- -[ Step 1 ]-----------------------------
- You must have a copy of the USBBS list to install USBBSDoor. Refer
- to USBBSDOR.DOC for information on obtaining the current USBBS list.
-
- Make a directory for USBBSDoor. Extract USBDOR54.ZIP contents there.
-
- Invoke the door locally by entering USBBSDOR /L at your DOS prompt
- or run the enclosed LOCAL.BAT file.
-
- Select option #1 (Create/modify config file). Enter the appropriate
- information for each of the installation questions. Pressing F1 at
- any parameter will display a help screen for that parameter.
-
- Note: "Location of current USBBSxxx.LST:". Do NOT place a file name
- in this field. USBBSDoor will find the newest USBBSxxx.LST file in
- the location specified. (Placing the list on a RAM drive works well)
-
- Note: "Location of newest USBBSxxx.ZIP:" Do NOT place a file name in
- this field. USBBSDoor will find the newest USBBSxxx.ZIP file in the
- location you specify and present it to the caller for downloading.
-
- Save the configuration file.
-
- -[ Step 2 ]-----------------------------
- Create a door batch file for USBBSDoor
-
- @echo off
- cd\usbbsdor
- USBBSDOR.EXE USBBSDOR.CNF C:\PCB

- | door information file.
- |__Config file name
-
- (Multi-node RBBS systems: add %1 as a third command line parameter)
-
- Tell your BBS you have installed USBBSDoor.
-
- Make sure you have placed USBBSxxx.LST and USBBSxxx.ZIP where you
- told USBBSDoor they would be found.
-
- You may now use USBBSDoor using USBBSDOR /L (LOCAL.BAT), or through
- your BBS locally, or on-line!
-
- As stated earlier, QUICK.DOC is for a quick installation. If you
- experience any difficulties you may need to refer to USBBSDOR.DOC
- for in-depth installation instructions.
