OVERVIEW
________
The BUSINESS CARD Door is designed to allow callers to post Business Cards
in any of the unlimited categories you have set up.
NOTE: Most errors will be logged to a file called DFRAME.ERR which is
created in the Classified Door directory.

INSTALLATION
____________
Installation is fairly easy and straight forward. The following steps and
examples should have you up and running in a very short period of time.
It is assumed that you are familiar with setting up DOORS on your system.
To this end, only examples of the configuration file and Door batch file
(if required by your BBS software) are described.
**** SHARE.EXE is REQUIRED! Place the word SHARE on a line by itself ****
**** in your AUTOEXEC.BAT file, anywhere after your PATH statement. ****
1) Create a directory to hold all BUSCARD files
2) Unzip BUSCRDxx.ZIP into the the above directory
3) Create a configuration file, with a name of your choice, or modify
the supplied BUSCARD.CFG file. You can do this manually with an editor
of your choice. The configuration file layout/description can be found
further on in this document
4) Create a batch file or modify the BUSCARD file supplied (if your BBS
software requires the use of a batch file to execute the door). A
description of this file follows:
ECHO off
cd\BBS\DOORS\BUSCARD Location of BUSCARD files
BUSCARD BUSCARD.CFG EXE filename and CFG filename (Name
used in creating file in #3 above)
CD\BBS
BOARD
5) When running more than one node, read MULTI-NODE SETUP further on
in this document.
6) Unzip BUSBATCH.ZIP, which contains working batch files examples for
some popular protocols.
