USBBSDOR 4.0 Copyright 1987-1990 L. Brent Yandell
* USBBSDOR is a door program which work with many types of BBS software,
including PCBoard, Wildcat!, GAP, RBBS, any any software which uses
their door information files.
* Provides extremely fast searches on the Darwin National BBS list.
* Callers may search by Area Code, State, any Text, Modem (9600) type,
New/changed listings, and Brand of BBS software.
* Searches may be conditional. Caller may specify where (area code, state,
or entire list) to perform searches for Text, Modem, Brand of BBS,
or New listings.
* Automated monthly Sysop maintenance. The Sysop simply places a new list
each month in a specified location and USBBSDOR will know it is there
and use it. No renaming! No re-configuring! No conversions! The same
applies for the list ZIP file if the Sysop enables downloading.
* "Header" and "footer" information files from the list are created
automatically! USBBSDOR checks to see if they exist each time it runs
and creates them if not. If they do exist, USBBSDOR checks their dates
and if the Sysop has installed a new list, USBBSDOR will create new
information files! Automatically!
* Built-in local maintenance mode with configuration file editor for easy
installation and testing.
* For callers in color mode, the list output is colorized "on-the-fly" for
a nice effect.
* (H)elp is embedded in the Area code and State input prompts, in case a
caller needs help determining an area code or state abbreviation.
* USBBSDOR is Desqview aware. Screen and keyboard I/O are limited to their
assigned window. USBBSDOR gives back it's time slice while idling at
an input prompt.
* Utilizes new PCBoard style color macros *OR* ANSI in text files.
Sysops choice.
* Several USBBSDOR-specific information @macros@ may be used in text files.
* If the Sysop chooses, the list may be downloaded from within the door.
An optional security level may be attached to the download feature.
* Door information file selection is highly configurable, allowing USBBSDOR
to run on virtually any type of BBS software.
* USBBSDOR runs at all baud rates and has been thoroughly tested with COM
ports locked at 38400 baud.
