ENHANCED
StoryBoard DOOR
Sysop Documentation
The latest version can
always be down-loaded
from I.D.I.C. BBS
(619) 461-0982
Introduction -
This Door will allow your users to "write" a STORY together.
One user starts a story (defining characters) and then another
user starts up from that point and continues the Story.
The UNREGISTERED Version allows only 2 story, while the REGISTERED
Version will allow THIRTY (30) StoryBoards running at one time.
****Be SURE to read FUTURE Enhancement BELOW****
Another I.D.I.C. BBS Door that boldly goes
where no door has gone before.
Features -
Ver .91 * Has a ZMODEM d/l function so the users may download the stories
for off-line reading!.
* Storys are simple ASCII files so the sysop may edit them if
somebody starts screwing around.
* All HELP screens are editable (and I suggest you do, since I don't
do such a great job in that area) so you can create your own
help files/screens.
* Easy setup
* We directly support many different BBSs:
PC Board versions 12 - 14.5
RBBS
Remote ACCESS
QuickBBS
WILDCAT!
GAP BBS
SpitFire
any BBS utilizing Door.sys
*================[ SPECIAL NOTICE ]====================*
OUR Doors now work with any BBS Software that supports
doors!! You simply call GENERIC.SYS!
Read more about GENERIC.SYS below

* Support BBS (and voice if needed)

MANY MANY THANKS -
To Charles "ADMIRAL" Strukel who is my CO-SysOp/Programmer on
almost all HAWKE Enterprise's BBS Doors!!
His help is always welcome and I really thank him for all his
time in testing all of MY/OUR Doors.
To all our users who tested the early alpha copy and added their
advice and support.
Rickie W. Belitz for making a Door Development kit that was
so easy to use my five year old could figure it out.
To my Children - Jesse Forrest(6), Nicole Loraine(4), Christopher
Hawke(2) and Robert Falcon (8 months) who still love their daddy
even if he does spend a lot of time on that machine.
And last but certainly not least....my wife, Sheila Femyer,
who patiently withstood my time and energy being spent on my
C classes, Programming, and BBS. She stands behind me and gives
me strength and patience when I have totally lost all of mine.
Support -
For non-registered and registered users...our BBS will always have
the latest version available for down-load.
