Below you will find a list of the most common problems and errors.
If you follow the instructions below you should be able to resolve
99% of the problems. If you still have problems then make a zip
file of the CNF and BATCH files and send them to me for evaluation.
Also include a message stating what error you are getting and what
the ENTIRE PROBLEM IS. This will help speed up the process
greatly. I can be reached at the following BBS:

The following BBS can also provide you with technical support, but
DO NOT leave messages for me there. I do not call this board
often. The SysOp is Jeff Miller and he provides support for
several programmers.

│▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒ GAPQBDR ERROR NUMBERS ▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒│
└──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
GAPQBDR ERROR #6
Definition:
Overflow
Solution:
This is usually an error DesqView operators will receive that have
a math co-processor. Be sure to tell each window of DesqView a
math co-processor exists.
GAPQBDR ERROR #52 or #64
Definition:
Bad filename or number
Solution:
When this occurs there is usually a TYPO in the BATCH file or
CNF file for the door.
Make sure that your batch file is using the correct format
ie. BJ BJ01.CNF is correct
BJ BJ1.CNF is incorrect
Make Sure that the CNF file has the right DROPFILE in it
DOOR.SYS
DORINFOx.DEF
SFDOORS.DAT
This is rare, except for those people that edit the CNF
file manually instead of using the UTILITY INSTALL command.
GAPQBDR ERROR #59
Definition:
Bad record length - usually a corrupted player.dat file
Solution:
Well not to worry this has only happen twice so far that I'm aware
of. Before you delete your PLAYER.DAT file move it to a temporary
location and restart the program. If this solves your problem then
the PLAYER.DAT file was corrupted and cannot be repaired (SORRY).
Otherwise call the support BBS listed above and we'll go from there.
GAPQBDR ERROR #62
Definition:
Input past end of file
Solution:
You CNF file isn't configured right. Use the UTILITY INSTALL
command to properly make the CNF file.
GAPQBDR ERROR #53 or #75 or #76
Definition:
Path or File access error
Solution:
Make sure all your paths are correct, both the CNF and BATCH files
ie. Having C:\WILDCAT\DOOR\HANG in the CNF file for the
location of the dropfile
When maybe it should be the following
C:\WILDCAT\WCWORK\NODE1
Just be sure and recheck those paths.

└──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
Problem: I use DesqView and all I get is garbage on my screen, but the
users see the color fine.
Solution: You must load DVANSI in each window
Problem: I can play the game fine but my users don't see anything on their
end.
Solution: Make sure that you are giving the correct path to the dropfile in
your CNF file.
If using a converter to make the DROPFILE be sure that it is
passing the correct COMM PORT information.
If using a non-standard IRQ or COMM PORT other then 1 or 2, be
sure you have the correct IRQ and BASE address in the CNF file.
Problem: All my users see garbage on their end, but the game plays fine
locally.
Solution: Make sure that you have set the right baud rate in the CNF file;
especially if running a HIGH SPEED MODEM.
Problem: The users cannot hear the ANSI music.
Solution: The user must use a communication program that supports ANSI
music. This is usually turned on by using the ALT-M key. I'm
only aware of two communication programs that support ANSI music,
RipTerm and Qmodem Pro.
Problem: Where can I get the latest doors?
Solution: At any of the following BBS's
